Email count limit

Hi,

I found under SERVICE USAGE POLICY the following item:

Mass Emailing
DASP does not allow the use of their services for mass mailings. This includes all mailing lists, legitimate opt-in or not. Email usage in excess of 1000 emails per account per 24 hours is not allowed and could result in suspension of email services, account suspension, and/or account termination. For these types of mass mailings, a third party mass email service should be used.


IfI need to email more than 1000 customers from my web application, should I use an external SMTP server?


Thanks!

 

Thanks for your quick response bruce.

 

I don't mean to hijack this thread but i thought my question was somewhat relevant so i'll ask it here (actually 2 questions):


1) I'm in the process of designing an email marketing tool. The mailing engine inside the tool would send individual emails to a single email address played out throughout the day to distribute the workload of the mail server. I plan on using a dedicated server hosting solution when the application is production ready but i'd like to use DASP.net to do a proof-of-concept test with some test clients (businesses). I'd throttle email transmissions to just 40 per hour ( * 24 hours = 960 emails/day) which should more than suffice for any proof-of-concept testing. Given what i'm describing here, would i be in violation of DASP.net's usage policy with respect to email? It's unclear to me whether i would be.


2) If question #1 is negative and my proof-of-concept test doesn't violate policy, then my next question would be: are the DASP.net mail servers compatible with Domain Keys and is this capability loaded on the mail servers?


thanks in advance.

 

thanks MJP.
