Email Sending Limits

[mightymouse3062]

Good Afternoon,
I have read around about the limits that have been put on servers for sending emails. Is a way to find out the max emails per hour on a server and what the current number that has been sent out per hour (or day) with php?

Thank you,
Mike

Contacting your host will give you that answer. If you are running your own server your limit is whatever your pipe access might be.

Limits may be on numbers of mails or numbers of recipients or both. Its entirely down to the service provider.

Don't rely on your ISP for high mailing volumes, they are far more likely to impose restrictions, often unpublished.

may be it depends upon your ISP or the server you a are using for this purpose!

I suppose there is no limit on the number of mails,but must check your service provider if there are any restrictions on the number.

My service provider has an undocumented limit for new mailboxes. As I found the hard way when I created a new dedicated mailbox for a newsletter. A couple of weeks later with no spam reports the limit is removed.

My ISP has volume restrictions which means that I can't use my private account for newsletters.
All the major webmail providers have very strict limits.
