Q: Will my ISP shut me down for sending to many emails?
A: Most of the time NO. Since you are using our server to them all you are doing is sending what looks like data. We also use port 587 as our email sending port so you can get pass most ISPs that block the normal out going email port 25.

Q: What is port 587 email server?
A: It is very common for many ISPs to restrict the use of port 25 by limiting the user. For example AOL offers no email sending options for many of its users and if they do its common for them to block port 25 completely. In addition most ISPs limit you to the number of emails you can send per hour. We use port 587 to bypass the blocking of port 25.

Q: Can I send an opt-in list on your email server?
A: Good question. Opt-in lists are OK. Double opt-in lists are better and customer lists are the best. There is no doubt about it...the quality of your list is the most important asset. If you buy a spam list or opt-in list your success rate will not be as good as a well groomed and maintained customer list.

Q: Are we limited on the number of emails we can send?
A: Depends on your list....again. If you have a customer list there are no limits. If you are sending an opt-in or double opt-in list you are encouraged to slow down the sending rate. Why? Its because all RECEIVING mail servers like AOL, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! limit the number emails a domain can send per hour. This is their way to control spam blasting. Its their rules not ours.
