Might make sure you are staying within the sending limits of 20 per minute, and 200-300 per hour.

Hey Mitch, is that limit documented anywhere?  I send emails to a mailing list on a regular basis (only to people that have subscribed) and, as of yet, have not run up against such a limit as far as I know.  Right now I have about 175 people on the list and the website fires out the email to all within a few seconds.  It'd be nice to know if that were truly a hard limit so I could code the site to comply.

Thanks.  Looks like I might want to make some changes to my site.  Is there a centralized place for documentation on these kind of rules?

The email limit is only set as rules are vastly made by other services.. it is not that Lunarpages just made the rule but since RBLs and Spam firewall companies have taken over how email is viewed. They tend to change the allowable amount of emails that can be sent in an hour at their own discretion. So, there is no real documentation other than what the current limit is due to what is imposed by all of these services.
