Potential Email Blacklist?

**sethererm** · 12 Mar 2009, 07:30 PM

Hi,
I have a store that is currently using Zen Cart 1.3.8a. I have the Newsletter plugin installed and I was curious about Potentially causing my domain name email getting blacklisted by sending E-Newsletters to my clients?

I've searched the forum and haven't found anyone having problems with it, but I wanted to verify that it is relatively safe for me to use this regularly to my clients without getting on some sort of black list.

I appreciate any help I can get on this!
Thanks,
Seth

As the Newsletter module has a double opt-in feature, you should be safe from any Spam complaints.

Also important is to find out from your Hoster how many eMails per hour can be sent. If you exceed their limit, a lot of eMails could end up not being delivered.

Thank you for your quick response. I will have to talk to my host and see what they can tell me. Is there a way to know if they don't get delivered because of the Hosts email server?

undelivered emails should get back to email account that was used to send out ..
example : if you used [email protected] to send out emails and you have [email protected] mailbox set on your mail server , then all undelivered mails should end up there.

Sorry to keep kicking a dead dog - but if the server isn't delivering them because it can't send them out - it wouldn't be the problem of the end user's address/email - but your saying it still would deliver undeliverables (because of my email server) to the inbox that sent them?

by undelivered mail i mean the mail that goes to wrong and non existing email address will be send back to You by your mail server .. and will be in inbox of email account that originally used to send out those emails .

Finally I found an answer to my initial question. There was a guy that did a pretty thorough response on his issues with Zen Cart's email newsletter information:

Pretty informative on this subject. Thank you for trying to help!
