cebuysc Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 hi, i'm using PHP to send email. when i batch it ('for' loop in PHP), it does not work 90% of the time. when i send it individually (manually) one at a time, it works 90% of the time. i've used 'Trace an Email Address' so i know my own emails (control test) works fine. is there a way to see how much email is buffered up? i send a few hundred email alerts to my subscribers weekly. nick Quote
Madmanmcp Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Emails are limited to 300 every 5 minutes. You need to stagger them so it does not hit this limit. Maybe this is your problem. Quote
cebuysc Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 hi Madmanmcp, can you tell me where that restriction is posted? i sent about 600+ emails within 10 minutes two hours ago. an hour later, i sent two only and still did not receive them either in my test accounts. nick Quote
Madmanmcp Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 sorry, my numbers were off. I found this post http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...indpost&p=38374 we do limit the number of outgoing mail in a certain amount of time though, 50 outgoing e-mails every 300 seconds (5 minutes) Quote
cebuysc Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 thanks again Madmanmcp! i'll try batching it with 50 and delays etc. and see how it works. nick Quote
cebuysc Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 works like a charm Rock Sign thanks for the pointer Madmanmcp Thumbs Up nick Quote
