Mailman And Limits

[tmccartney66]

In the last few days, I've been having some problems with the mailman lists I run on TCH. One has 190 members, and delivery of list e-mails has been extremely sporadic for the last few days.

 

According to the techs looking into this, the problem may be the mail server limit of *** mails per hour, which would, of course, preclude more than one message being sent through this 190-member list in an hour. But if the limit is the problem, why has it just now become a problem? (I'm not convinced it's the problem - it's just really hard to tell right now.)

 

THis is not a terribly high-traffic list, but on its busiest day we might see up to 50 messages during the workday. (This doesn't happen often, certainly.)

 

This listserv has existed for 10 years in one form or another, so it needs to continue. Any ideas for workarounds? We're willing to upgrade to a reseller account if that would make this problem go away.

 

Thanks!

There are limits to the amount of email that you can send on a shared server. You can use a list manager like Dada Mail http://mojo.skazat.com/ to batch your list into smaller groups.

 

Upgrading to any other plan besides a dedicated server will not allow you to send any more messages than you current plan.
