| Question: | What are my bulk email broadcasting options? | | Answer: | We no longer support Majordomo as Majordomo contains security hole which will allow email worms to be spreaded when one of your mailing list members' computer is inflected by virus.
For starters, we suggest to use email programs like Outlook Express and set the recipients into groups via their provided address book. As long as you adjust the timeout limit from default 1 minute to 5 minutes and you send out not more than 100 email addresses at the same time, you should be just fine.
For more advanced users, please check out PHP Easyletter at http://www.onlinetools.org/tools/easyletter.php This PHP based mailing list program should be able to meet your needs.
Also keep in mind that Mecca ehosting.ca does not allow any spamming nor untargeted email broadcasting as per our Terms of Service.
We also do not allow any prolonged SMTP connection that would increase the CPU load and freeze the server.
To broadcast emails, it is recommended that you use your ISP provided SMTP server instead of our mail servers and for the "FROM" header of your email, it must be an email address that is *not* served by us (such as your.name@hotmail.com) or an email address that is non-existent (such as do-not-reply@yourdomain.com).
We have right to suspend or terminate anyone's account for sending unsolicited bulk emails. | | last updated Jan.31.2005 | |
