Need to mail all 300 members simultaneously- yet forum max is 20!!...

[makonz]

How do I adjust forum (SMF 1.0.9) settings so I can email allmy forum members in one go. Site hoster siteground tells me me max at any one time is 20, but I need at least 300. They can't help, and advised coming here, cheers

i dunno wot the problem is, i can email my 70 members in one go so it cant be smf

Thats what they tell me anyway, and I know many arent getting delivered, so does anyone know where to change the settings to permit more, or know how to change the settings to allow progressive emailling of 20 per second for however many seconds it takes?

Do you also know how to confirm which ones were sent?

Thanks, we've got people upset at not getting emails...

Mark.

Maybe their email doesn't allow mail from your server/forums. Ask them to check their spam folder.

[makonz]

No it definitely does email, but its just limited.

[makonz]

and they say they don't know how to adjust it

I have no problem emailing 100+ members using the mail functions on smf. It may be that your host has prevented sending emails of more than 20, because they consider it spamming, have you looked into this with your host?
