CCBain Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 I send email out to a few hundred subscribers for a community center in my town. I do this with a great email program (Gammadyne Mailer) from home, via my broadband cable modem connection. I have Gammadyne mailer set to send one at a time, instead of threading them. AOL is blocking them, saying that they don't accept mail from dynamic IPs, which is baloney of course, since if I send just one, it gets through. This is not spam, of course, these are opt-in people who have asked to be kept informed of events at this venue. Is there a way for me to send the mail from one of my TCH sites, since those IPs are static? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 I don´t know if you can use Gammadyne Mailer for this since I had never heard of it before. However, there is several scripts you can use as mailing lists. Dada mail (http://mojo.skazat.com/) is a popular one. Remember though that you can only send 50 per 5 minutes through the TCH-servers.

HCSuperStores Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Hi Thomas! Is the "50 every minutes rule" a hard and fast rule, dictated by some server setting that TCH has established? I've always wanted to know specifically what the rule is so I can be sure to comply and not be flagged for my own purposes. I've had to put the threat of God into my clients to be sure they do not abuse thier own accounts. I have a reseller account with multiple domains. Is it 50 per e-mail address? So it would be possible to spread the load over a few e-mail addresses? Or, is it 50 per domain name? Large accounts with 10s or 100s, or more e-mail accounts might easily exceed this naturally. If you have any fix on this let me know. As always, just looking to stay in bounds, play nice and see that myself and my clients do not abuse any system or even show up on any report! Thanks!

TCH-Thomas Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Sorry HCSuperStores, I don´t know the answer to that. But I think its per domain, but I can definately be wrong on this. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 It is a setting that is per server, we are also notified automatically if an account tried to exceed that limit. I'm not 100% certain but I believe it is per e-mail address, if it wasnt we would have a lot more reports of accounts exceeding the limit and probably even more angry customers. Quote
HCSuperStores Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 I would have to agree with you Mike. Anything more restrictive would probably cause other issues. Quote
Head Guru Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 HC - Drop me a email and I will be more than happy to give you details. This is something we dont discuss in open chat, as we dont like spammers to try to circumvent our systems. Bill Quote
