Hi
I have a social network that I run on my Linux server. I have 200,000 members. 100,000 members have become fairly dormant. I've drafted an email to the 100,000 members encouraging them to return to the site or delete their account.
I've setup a routine to mail out this message via linux to these members at the rate of 1 ever 5 seconds.
I have set the pace to be slow so that I do not 'upset' yahoo and aol, etc. I want to avoid being black listed or something like that.
Should I be concerned about the pace at which I send messages?
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using exim.
Thank you.
1. Frequency of mailing.. 1 every 5 seconds
2. Alternate the ISP's you send to (Google, Yahoo, Comcast...)
3. Keep the content very cliean so it does not score high in spam elimination engines
4. Remove emails that bouse back to maintain a clean db.
Hope this helps!
