Summary: Perceived limit of 200 email addresses delivered to per day *rest snipped*
Is the above described limitation a common occurrance in the world-at-large?
I've not heard of ISPs doing number-of-recipients-per-day limitations. I've heard of them doing number-of-recipients-per-email limitations (thus limiting large cc/bcc lists) but not total number of emails.
An excellent question. I was unable, as a customer, to get a direct answer to any of my queries as to what was or wasn't allowed at all, despite multiple attempts each time it happened. After the 3rd cut-off, I cut out, so to speak. :-) All my email still travels over their network, it just doesn't get routed through their SMTP servers.
Who's to say that there arent legitimate reasons to email a large number of people - perhaps your customers??
Certainly if my own ISP did something like that, you're quite right, i'd have to find an alternative. (Or perhaps, an alternative ISP. )
(who set the limit at 200? Can you opt-out of the limit or have it upped?)
Never found any way to, but that may only mean I didn't find the right magic combination. At least now I know my monthly gross transfer is limited to 250 GB (except in February when its only 228 GB... :-) ) Jeff Kinz. --
