When you send bulk email, whether newsletters or campaigns, that exceed 200 messages per hour, you have a few options. If you use an email marketing program, plugin, or script, set it to send messages in timed batches. This strategy sends your emails gradually over time, preventing you from hitting the 200-message threshold. You might also consider relaying your emails through another SMTP server that can handle higher volumes. Both methods let you send bulk email without compromising deliverability or triggering security measures.
At WP Hosting, we limit outbound email messages to 200 per hour for each hosting account. We do this to reduce spam abuse and keep our IP addresses off blacklists. This measure protects our entire network and ensures stable email delivery for everyone.
If you send bulk email via your email client, such as Outlook or Mac Mail, we suggest configuring your program to send messages using your ISP’s outgoing mail server. Many ISPs, like Bigpond or Optus, have higher thresholds and can accommodate larger email volumes. This option bypasses our outbound email limit, ensuring your newsletters reach recipients without delay.
We recommend reviewing your email delivery setup if you plan to send bulk emails regularly. Adopting one of these strategies will help you avoid disruptions and maintain a strong sender reputation. By managing your email volume effectively, you protect our network and enjoy uninterrupted service.
Sending bulk email beyond 200 messages per hour requires adjustments. Whether you choose to use timed batches with your marketing tool or switch to your ISP’s outgoing server, these steps ensure you comply with our limits while delivering your newsletters.
