Description
Hi,
I have a site that I started few months back. Users just came, registered, used it for few days and then forgot about it.
Now I have a lot more features and I want to send them a reminder email like "Hey, we've got lots of cool new features. Come back and use our site"
I have about 200 registered accounts. My main support question is Can this module send e-mail to all of these 200 emails all at once? What about 1000 - is there a limit? (I'm with Hostmonster)
Will I be marked as a "spammer"?
Thanks for your help

This is probably way past when you needed it, but here goes. The limitations on the number of users to send to are your server(s) and/or ISP. They should be able to handle 200 users easy enough, but may balk at 1000 -- I don't know. You can specify a number in the admin settings, and it will send more e-mails to a smaller number of users.
As far as the spam issue goes, there are some hosts that do mark e-mail from Drupal as spam. Since this module uses the Drupal mailer, there is the possibility that it might get marked as spam. Some things you can try are: using the SMTP Authentication Support or some similar module, which circumvents the Drupal mail method and uses some other method, and forming your e-mail such that it doesn't imitate the way spam e-mails work, including the subject.

I have a similar question. I have not yet installed the module. At the moment I am building a site, wich should become quite big, so i suppose once i will have to send emails to more than 10.000 users - is that possible with this module?
Kind regards,
