Does anyone know what number of outbound mail limit does SAIX impose on users? Some companies sending e-mail letters were limited when they exceeded a certain number of mails/recipients...
Policy Ratelimiting will be implemented on the SAIX SMTP servers to limit and manage the inflow of email relay traffic. This will be
phased in from 24 October 2005 and the following restrictions will apply:
- Limit the number of messages to less than 360 per hour. (This limit counts all the recipient addresses as a message, thus a message with 10 recipients will count as 10 messages).
- Limit the total message volume to 250 Mega Bytes per hour.
- When one of the above limits is exceeded, a block will be applied to the offending source address for the remainder of the hour.
The amended policy is required to curb the small percentage of users sending in excess of 9600 mails per day.
