Default Mail question

I will like to buy a shared account, baby or Swamp.

I have a list of 5000 emails for a newsletter ( not spam ). I'm reading your policy about mail.

My question is:

- it is possible to send this emails using this host plan? If yes, how?

Default Re: Mail question

Yes, but carefully.

You'd have to install a program like phplist (available in Fantastico) to throttle (spread out the sending) the emails to 200/hour.

5000/200 = 25 hours to send it out.

If you want something without restrictions, you'd need a dedicated solution.
