Could someone help me understand how that works? Generally, when I set up and ask for production access, they grant it, wth a limit of 50,000 messages they allow to be sent daily. This limit can go up - you can ask for this just like you ask for production access, or you can see if the limit is raised automatically. I b ...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?

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.

When I have time, I'd like to comment more, but I think these are great ideas, and fairly low-hanging fruit for Dada Mail to achieve. The, "send tracker stats for email" is something that's already done in the "Mass Mailing Finished!" email notification these days, although I do see the appeal of getting sent the stats from a day/week/whatever later. It still does much of what you would like to see. Emails that are bounces by default are saved in the bouncing addresses sublists. You can search b ...Continue Reading

Hello Mary Ann, I recognize the problem. I am running a 400.000 (and even plus) mailing. And sometimes the IP gets blocked. This is how I workaround it: 1. Set the bounce treshold much higher. Hard bounce is 4, so I have 3-4 mailings before a mailaddress is unsubscribed2. To set unsubscribed addresses back I interfere directly with the mysql database (the addresses are double there, so you only have to delete the address listed as unsubscribed) Play al little bit around there and you see what I mean.&nbs ...Continue Reading

I added this to the Wishlist at GitHub, but thought I’d throw it out here as well. Preface - a few months ago, I neglected to check my Tracker data 3 mailings in a row, and the mail server IP was being blocked by an ISP. 3 mailings was enough to trigger a mass of unsubscribes by the bounce handler, which could have been prevented if I had realized the server was blocked. I try to check Tracker after every mailing, but sometimes life intervenes. Emailing a summary of the tracker stats for each mailing (4-8 hou ...Continue Reading
