sending lots of emails

[Paul11]

a friend of mine sends 1000's of emails for her work, everyday.

she is currently on talk talk and they limit the amount of email you can send in one go.

is there a way of paying for another email service and still use the talk talk connection ? or will another email still go through the talktalk mail server?

if you have your own domain and email, would that be limited (does it still use talk talk mail server for outgoing mail ) ?

what is the best way to send lots of emails at once, seeing that most companies limit the numbers.

Paulus:

Bluebottle have a "Freemail" service, which uses their own outgoing (and incoming) mail servers, not sure about limits though.

thank you , this is from thier forum.:

"All the sending limits are based on a rolling 24 hour period.

Freemail: 50 emails/day for the first week, 100/day after.
Access: 250 emails/day
Premium: 500 emails/day"



if we use a pop email from out own domain does it still go through the ISP's own outgoign mail server ?? ie talk talk

or will this solve the problem?

You could always set up your own smtp server, then you could send an unlimited number of emails. I recommend Sharemailpro there is a free/trial version, and it is easy to set up.

I thought running an SMTP server from home on a residential IP got lots of mail blocked by some hosts?
Apparrently they don't like dynamic IP addresses

That is correct. A lot of residential subnets will already be on known blacklists.

any other ideas?

Get a Gmail account, set it up in Outlook/Thunderbird whatever? That will use the Google servers instead, which I don't think have a limit.

Not sure if thats what you're after though.
