    Default email limitation at hostgator

    I have around 1800 customers and now i want to send them email but Hostgator only allows 500 emails in one hour. I contacted them and they said try to change your script to send each email after every 8 seconds. In this way you'll be able to send emails without restriction.

    Now what should i do? Where should i make change to send email after every 8 second?

    I don't know about the 8 second thing, but most hosts throttle outgoing email. I think the best way around the problem is to use a third party email program like MailChimp (there are others - the guy from the one with 'bee' in its name will probably be along directly) that allow you to send mail in batches.

    So what do you suggest?
    Should i use MailChimp or contact a person with the name "bee" to resolve this issue?
