Problems with my newsletter system

[Laphan]

Hi Guys

Don't know if you can help, but here goes.

Created a basic ASP/ADO/Access 2000 Newsletter system using JMail.
Basically client has 300+ subscribers and wants to send 1 newsletter email
to them all every 1 - 2 months.

Missed my client's call to say it wasn't working, but having checked with my
ISP (FastHosts), they have some kind of embargo on the amount of emails that
can be sent every 10 seconds.

Has anybody experienced this problem and found a way round it.

Many thanks.

Use a better host or add wscript.sleep 10000 in your loop after every n
e-mails, where n is the limit.

Dear Ray

Thanks for the lightening fast reply, but could you elaborate on how I
use the wscript to iterate through batches of emails.

I basically recordset the one newsletter into a var.

Then recordset the subscriber emails list.

Then JMail this list out with a copy of the newsletter.

ISP will only allow 10 emails every 30 seconds or 50 emails every 10
mins.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

How about posting your code over in the scripting.vbscript group? You won't
want to do this with ASP, since your script is going to run for like an
hour.

While I understand why your host does what they do, if they're preventing
you from fulfilling a business need, you should find a new host. Or just
BCC everyone.
