Thanks so much for posting this info.

I have been looking carefully at Interspire’s self hosted email managment software for some time now but after reading your article, I contacted my host company before purchasing.

Sadly, my hosting company (hostpapa) informed me that – just as you said – my “unlimited” hosting plan is not as unlimited as one might think. I’m on a shared server and I have a cap of 50 emails per hour. So, even with my present very modest list of 1000 contacts, it would take 20 hours to send an email message to all of the contacts.

Hostpapa did say that I could contact their service department before sending each newsletter and ask them to lift the 50 email limit but they would need to review my email message content. They couldn’t say exactly how long it would take to get my message cleared each time.

So now the self-hosted option isn’t looking so good. It’s too bad because the pay-as-you-go/pay-more-as-your-list-grows option seems like a racket to me. $20 a month to maintain an email list of 1000 contacts when I only pay $5 a month to host my entire website? Sounds like the mafia to me…

Oh well, I guess I’ll have to bit the bullet and sign up with one of the pay-as-you-grow providers.

Your web filter at work will recognize the VPN eventually and block access to that address. You also run the risk of having the IP address blacklisted and then your ISP finding out you were violating your terms of use and shut off your internet.

Can you suggest a good autoresponder script? I want one for multiple users, not just myself.

You need to ask your web hosting provider about that. Unless you’re paying more than $30 a month chances are it’s a shared account.
