Many of you have had problems receiving mail from the list, as my domain is hosted on a server in the cloud, and many ISPs have blanket blocks on any IP addresses from cloud providers like mine (Digital Ocean). Iâm testing out a new relay service, Mailgun (https://www.mailgun.com/). So far it seems to be running well, but if any of you on the receiving end of things notices a problem, please let me know. One other issue is the cost: itâs free if the total # of emails sent is under 100K, but gets expensive above that. Last year the highest number of emails sent in a month was 280 in May, which is about 133,000 total emails, and that would have cost $120 for that month (ouch!). So Iâm not sure if I will keep it, but itâs worth a trial at least.
The numbers do not make sense. Does that "100K" mean 100,000 messages or 100 kilobytes? How does 280 relate to 133,000?
For testing, I suggest that you send some regular test messages. You might send three per day evenly spaced over a week, and number them. "This is test message 1.", "This is test message 2.", etc. Any of us noticing some missing can let you know.
