Bulk email facility in UE4 with fasthosts

I have UE4, but I know the host I use is fairly tight about the amount of emails sent out through their server's. I have been told that I will get away with about 15 to 20 emails in an hour before they consider it to be spamming!

However, if these people have given permission to send an email to them, then it's not spamming is it? So why have the limit?

Anyway, I use Fasthosts in the UK as a host... has anybody got experience of bulk emailing with UE4 on fasthosts? Did it work for you with fasthosts? I personally haven't had a go yet simply because I don't want to spend time getting it working on fasthosts only to find it doesn't work.

Can anybody recommend a host that does allow for UE4's bulk email facility just incase fasthosts don't support it?

Thanks

any host will impose a limit on the number of emails that can be sent in a given time.

It's not a question of whether the users have consented to you sending the email, the host has no knowledge of any such agreement, that is between you and your website visitors.

the host is just trying to prevent spammers from abusing the email server.

Think in terms of speed limits. I know I can drive safely at 75mph, but that doesn't mean the teenager who just got there license can. The limit is set at 55mph, not because of my personal abilities, but because of the general populations abilities and what is considered safe for all.

I think with the limit fasthosts has of 15 - 20 in an hour, you will have difficulty getting a mass email script working.

If you had 100 emails in the database, you would need to leave the script running in the browser for 5:30 hours to send all of the emails.

Yes I was a bit concerned about that myself so I rang my hosting provider up and asked them about it and they said they have no limit and as long your not sending 5000 emails an hour you'll be ok... Its fast2host, also in the UK.
