Do Freeola allow bulk email?

I have a client that needs to send news updates to around 600 people 3 or 4 times a year.

I know some providers only allow 100 emails per hour etc. is that something Freeola have in place?

I'm not sure if they need to be using a dedicated bulk email provider - I wouldn't want to suggest they use Freeola if it will cause problems!

Thanks in advance.

I accidentally sent myself four and a half thousand e-mails a few months back and they all came through quite quickly.

Note to self: Don't use Do/while loops to send e-mails.

Note to Freeola: Sorry about that.

Yes they are a small business. So I'm not sure if you are giving a thumbs up or not!?!

> ...is the unsolicited part

The emails are all solicited - they are to users who have subscribed to a newsletter.

Thanks again - I'll advise them to look elsewhere.

As per Tony's post the main bit there in the Terms and Conditions is the unsolicited part, in order to make sure that the outgoing servers are not considered spam servers (causing innocent peoples email to be delayed or block) we have to be careful about what users send. The actual amount being sent there would not neccessarily be an issue, but if we received complaints about the emails being sent we would have to take appropriate action to protect the servers reputation (and the other customers using it).
