Batch Email Problems

Had the same issue at our location as well. SiteLink claims its a Gmail issue...

Gmail has a limit to help prevent their platform being used for spam.  We do ours in 50 email batches, and that takes some time with 1200 customers.  However, since we don't do it often, it's not a big deal.  And it avoids any issues with our emails looking like spam.


The only other thing you could try is something like mailchimp where you would export your customer list and import it there.  You can do larger mailings that way.

The current email provider for the site I pseudo-support imposes a max of 100 emails/account/hour.  I was looking into a hosted exchange solution that would allow for more, but it came with another tier of service.

Yep totally know that one! ... we are hosted by GoDaddy which only allows a certain number of emails, or SMTP relays, a day.

The point is to cut down on spam, but without buying more relays (or changing other voodoo IT things) we just have to limit our batch to just 100 or so a day until complete.

rmason I have the exact same issue and I'm using Gsuite business account -- I'm certain I'm not hitting daily our hourly limits.   I've tried multiple SMTP servers -- Has *anyone* ever sent 500+ emails at the same time (without doing batches of 50-100) successfully....I'm starting to doubt SiteLink can do it, but I'd loved to be proven wrong!!

I've never had an issue sending blast emails at either of our locations. Of the tenant's with emails I'm at about 508 here and around 600+ at our other location; We use Outlook. Not sure about our other 2 locations, I've never been to those stores.
