How emails are sent
-
Hi.
I would like to know how emails are being sent. I have a blog with hunderds of unique visitors per day. So I assume that I am going to have a lot of subscribers in the comming months.
My email provider is Office 365 and I use SMTP plugin which sends emails through Office 365 with authentication. But in Office 365 there are some limits how many emails I can send and to how many recipients. The limits are:
10,000 recipients per day (this should be fine anyway and I will not reach this limit)
500 recipients for a single email message (in To, Cc, Bcc)
30 messages per minuteAnd now let’s assume with that limits that I have 1000 subscribers on my site. So how should I configure the plugin? Is it 1 subscriber = 1 email, so one post notification generates in my case 1000 emails immediately and I will reach the limit of 30 messages per minute? Or 1 post notification goes in one email to all subscribers in bcc, so I will reach the limit of 500 recipients for a single email message?
Thank you.
