Sending out Emails

[Caroline Centa]

I am not entirely sure if this is a giga-issue, domain issue or opencart issue, but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I currently run Opencart, which is hosted with the free hosting offered at gigarocket.net, with a namecheap domain. I am very happy with the service so far. However, when I send out my monthly newsletter via the Opencart admin, most of my emails are not being sent with this message coming to me in my inbox:

"Domain readingsbycaroline.net has exceeded the max emails per hour (30/30 (100%)) allowed"

I am assuming that this is a restriction imposed on the hosting to prevent spam (as spammers are most likely to use free hosting to do their dirty work). What I don't know, is how to get around it. I tried inputting a sending address hosted elsewhere, but as I am running it through Opencart it makes no difference, so I am pretty sure it's not a restriction imposed on the email itself (hosted with my website on Gigarank). I would like to keep using the Opencart feature.

Can anyone help me identify who I need to talk to? and if it is Gigarank (like I suspect), what options do I have to remove (or increase) the maximum emails (I need to send about 250-300 at a time when I send out my newsletter - I don't know how to separate the emails in my database to stagger the sending). I send out my newsletter about once a month (usually less) and all people must manually opt into the subscription and have the option to opt out.

Thanks in advance!

HI Caroline, all your emails will go through, they will go out the hour later. There is a restriction on how many emails can be sent out per hour on the free hosting. They are held in a queue to reduce spamming and reduce outgoing email congestion. So if your sending out a mass mail of 300 it will take 10 hour's for them all to be delivered.

Is there a way for it to stop sending me notifications for them then? The last batch I sent out gave me 10 emails telling me that I had reached my limit? (Thanks for getting back to me)
