Email rerouting through gmail/google servers

  • I have to send around 10,000 mails per day but my hosting server is allowing only 100mails/hour.
    I know there is a way to use gmail smtp servers.I am using drupal 7 CMS and using drupal mail function to send emails.Any help would be appreciated.
  • You can use Google's SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com) but I doubt that they'll allow you to send 10,000 emails per day just like that.

    You're probably better off using a professional email service such as MailChimp. It'll cost you some money but I can guarantee you that you won't find a reliable free service for what you need.
  • Are you currently sending 10,000 a day and now something has happened that is forcing you to switch?

    I can't imagine a mail server that does not immediately flag you or potentially put you right into a blacklist of known spammers. You can add spf records indicating a high volume of email will be coming from a specific address, but you'll still need to feed email through instead of a massive bulk push. I'd second Mailchimp - when you are dealing with that volume you really need like unsubscribe functionality and tapering. Plus, the other features are pretty handy too :)
  • Thank you @senff i will look into Mailchimp.And yes,you are right,it is a maximum of 500 mails per day on gmail smtp and 2000 if using google apps
  • mailchimp +1
  • hey guys i recently came across http://www.ymlp.com/ which provides the same service.Any body use it?reviews please
