Hi Team
I have my SMF forum hosted using India Hosting. My forum url is
Marathi Kavita - Index

Its the only forum on internet for Marathi Literature.

My Problem I have hosted it using SMF and MySQL. My host allows only 50 mails per hour. Total count of members as of now is around 3K. I need to send them a Mass Mail. How do i do it in one go ?

Also please let me know what email hosting does this website uses.
As of now website is getting 1L+ hits per month. I need to make it even more interactive and hence want to send mass mail to all my members instead of PM.

Also let me know how do i get banner advertisement sponser? currently m using google ad-sense.

yes i know this. But what mechanism this website uses for mass mailing ?
I need to mail 3K members at one go !!!!!

birender

for mass mailing you need to have a mailing list software and with crown job set because of the SPAM is the one of the biggest issue in front of any web hosting provider in world if they don't follow this rule then their IP's will be listed on DNSBL blacklists. so to avoid this kind of problem o0n Linux servers they have some option in postfix smtp server to limit outgoing email per hour or per day.

This can be only done with cron job option only.

can u post link ,. i can see crown job option in my Cpanel. but not sure how to use it.

birender

which control panel you are using

talktoanil

i have hosted my site using India Hosting. Linux Based Hosting.
It has CPanel in it .

cPanel Version 11.24.5-RELEASE
cPanel Build 38506

this is how it looks

Before setting up cron job you need to have members list php script installed and import all email into that script and compose content and click send mass mail. after that your script will be send mailing list to cron.php file within the folder of mailing list script root folder and that cron.php script runds every 1 hour and it send 50 -50- 50 email. because in one go 3k email are not possible because this make mail bombing attempt
