I know this came up a while ago.. I know HOW to throttle email, but not how many per minute/hour is good.. I was doing great for a long time with sending 2000 messages a day to Hotmail and MSM.. I split them up by sending 25 at a time, every 5 minutes but I now am having problems with msm and Hotmail.. I asked them for help and they said:
>Hotmail/Windows Live Mail limits the number of email messages a >particular IP can send within a time period. Based on an IP's >reputation (built based on various data sources) it is allotted an >allowed sending limit per unit of time. When an IP (sender) exceeds >its allowed limit, any further SMTP commands from the IP will >receive the SMTP error code 421 from Hotmail/Windows Live Mail and >the connection terminated. the question: how many messages can be sent per time span and get through? Anyone work this out? We follow all of the rules with double opt in, but have some really stupid people who report it as spam when they mean to delete it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
