ISP Sending Limits

To prevent Spam, many ISPs impose limits on the number of messages you can send within a certain period. MLK provides a variery of settings that allow you to stay within the limits imposed by your ISP.

Sending Frequency

• Do not send to more than x recipients every x minutes

If your ISP has a hard sending limit use this option to throttles the speed at which MailList King sends its messages

Note:
- Ensure you specify a number that is somewhat lower than your ISP's limits.  In this way you won't exceed your limit by other emails you send (such as personal emails you send from your email software)
- This limit will also affect messages that MailList King forwards from members and automated messages

• Stagger Sending

MailList King will add a delay between the sending of each message to minimize the load on your mail server/network

Sending Times

• Do not send any messages between x and y

If bulk sending is not permitted on certain times and/or days, you can specify when MailList King will disable its delivery

Advanced

• Don't apply these limits to the Internal SMTP Server

Whether the ISP Limits also apply to the Internal SMTP Server (which does not use your ISP's servers)

• Strict Limiting

The default method used to limit your sending speed (unchecked) means that on average MLK will not exceed the values specified above (e.g. if your limit is 1200 messages per hour, then within a one hour period more than 1200 message might be sent, but over a whole day it will be less than 1200). If you enable Strict Limiting then it will prevent all sending for the specified time once each batch is complete (e.g. if your limit is 1200 messages per hour, it will send out 1200 then wait an hour before sending again).
