We send out every Wednesday an email for students (with a second list for public subscribers). Both lists were deactivated on the schedule last week since it was spring break. When I reactivated the lists to start again today (Wed., March 16) I set the start date to 2016-03-16 and time to 02:15:00; same for the public version except with a 03:15:00 start. There is a cron job set to run every weekday at 2:15 a.m. to kick of several list mailings, including the student list (plus one at 3:15). However, neither of the li ...Continue Reading

Does size matter?We just launched a new version of our daily news email on Tuesday. As usual, we are sending a web page. In the scheme of things, the size of the message went up from about 30 MB to 80 MB (more content). The impact is that our mailout time went from about 2 hours for a little over 10,000 subscribers to around 10 hours to complete. Nothing has changed other than the size of the file.So, are we seeing the drop-off in throughput due to a larger message being sent? We think this is probably the issue, but ...Continue Reading

When I first applied to Amazon SES I explained that I had a very small list (less than 1,000), what my newsletter hoped to accomplish, etc. Within a matter of days I received a reply that my initial limit had been raised to 50,000. Given that experience I don't know why you would have any problem.

Sure, that would help, but I would rather have it much sooner. I run an mailing of 400.000+.If there is a spam issue after 10.000 or so. I would have to fix 390.000 afterwards :-( So something with a treshold (after x bounces) I get an message AND/OR at the end? Regards, EefVan: <dadadev@PROTECTED> namens "Mary Ann Kelley maryann@PROTECTED [Dada Mail Developers]" <dadadev@PROTECTED>Beantwoorden - Aan: Dada Mail Developers <dadadev@PROTECTED>Datum: woensdag 2 maart 2016 15:4 ...Continue Reading

I’ve been considering using Amazon SES for my main lists, but I was put off by their limits. Could someone help me understand how that works? I have a list of 34.5K subscribers, and don’t really understand how that works with their limits. Can I request a higher quota at activation so that I can send to that many addresses at once? If so, do they always grant it? If not, what happens when I meet the threshold in a mailing? Does it go back to my mail server sending them? Warm regards,Mary Ann* On Mar 1, 2016, at 1:25 P ...Continue Reading

Thanks, Eef. I have adjusted the thresholds so I do have more mailings before an unsubscribe happens, but I do want to process the bounces regularly. I thought an email summary after each mailing would be helpful to alert me when the IP is blocked.
