Bulk e-mail
Our email service providers use protection systems that limit the number of messages that can be sent from one provider to another. As a result, when a massive amount of emails is sent by a user in a short period of time, the provider through which these messages were sent suspends our service. To prevent this from happening we must limit the amount of email that can be sent by a single user in a 24-hour period of time to 1,000. It is important to understand that this limit was set to protect your organization as well as all of our customers. Imposing this daily limit complies with our providers’ requirements to not only help maintain a high-quality, reliable service, but also to avoid a suspension of the activity on our network.
