Emails per hour / Question to other hosts who provide shared hosting

Do you limit the number of emails that accounts are able to send per hour? If so what is your limit?

Do you think that 100 emails per hour is too low?

    I limit to 300mails/hour purely because i target the low end hosting market so sometimes get abusers. If someone has good reason to get the limit removed i so remove it but.

    Used to do 10 emails per hour on free hosting project and 75/hour on paid, which can always be adjusted if client requests and justifies.

  • tommytommy Member

    I usually limit to 200 mail/hour

  • i have some accounts with 900 mails per hour, because are many domains, but normally they use 400-500 pero hour.

    I do 100, but of course a client can open a ticket and if they have a legit reason it's fine to increase it for them.

  • 200/hour for non-profit based hosting

    On the subject, what paid mass mailing servers/services did you use?

    The company where I'm hosting my forum right now has a very strict limit.

    @Paul I was talking about what we used to offer to end users on a basic Cpanel based shared hosting.

    If you need mass mailing, I will strongly recomend MandrillApp.

    Depending on how many messages you send, Mandrill or Sendgrid might be your best options. Mandrill is cheaper for a smaller number of messages, since the first 12,000/month are free, but Sendgrid (200 free/day) is cheaper if you send a lot.

    If you're sending a lot of messages (more than a few thousand a day) then you might want to look at Amazon Simple Email Service since the starting limits are higher.

    Anyone knows how to limit with exim on Debian?

  • @24khost since I'm moving in that direction just say SMTP dot com and 100 per hour
    But larger hosts do give more ~ 500
