Thumbs up Thank You

Ah, good to know about the 200 mail limit. If I schedule 15 mails every 5 minutes, that should be safe, resulting in approximately 180 mails per hour at maximum usage. Depending on my customers wishes, I may also simply do 6 eMails every two minutes, again, resulting in 180 mails per hour.

Now, considering that we are on a Business hosting plan, if by some fluke the five or so people that also have eMail addresses each send several mails while the chron is executing, what happens if we attempt to send, say 204 eMails in an hour? Do we get suspended, warned, or do the extra mails just get queued for a bit? Is there a way I can check how many more eMails we have per hour and block the script if necessary?

Also, I will mention the "mark as spam" issue to my client, but only people registered for the eMail service will be receiving messages. There is a relatively complex registration procedure, so I highly doubt that anyone will be marking these messages as spam!

Thanks again for the prompt and informative reply, Maxim!
