Hi All
Similar to my previous topic: URL
I'm now trying to source suitable third party SMTP providers - the main reason is due to reputation. Sending straight from my domain has caused the odd email to bounce due to "unrecognised domain" for instance.
So my question to the community - who should I use / who do you use? [First question]
I've currently gone with Mandrill - although their pricing is crippling for me sending the odd survey. Also I discovered that they restrict you to 25 emails per hour until your reputation improves.
Then I tried SparkPost - which seems easier, but their reporting is limited compared to Mandrill.
[Second Question] Using both providers my Limesurvey email sending "times out" - so I click send, then after awhile it resets. Only a handful are emails are queued - so they are in the system - however I need to keep on clicking "send" every 10 minutes. I never had to do this with php sending.
Thanks!
