Mike - yeah, both Ed & Ted already answered that Q.
Issue is - its the monthly emails Times the total # of subscribers - which equates to the large 133K # total!
Ed - I really do NOT think you should use this service - since its Pricey - and there's NO Reason why you should pay for the service when these forums don't even Net you ANY $$$!
Also - you do this same similar forum for Python - don't you? Which, if so, increases total # of emails, and thus the monthly cost. Or, maybe the cost is Per forum type - not grouped together...
My 2.05 centavos - upgraded for inflation...

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).
I’m 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: it’s 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 I’m not sure if I will keep it, but it’s worth a trial at least.
First and foremost, thanks again Ed for doing this list!!!
Help me out with that math on the above. 280 emails in May...that multiplied by 12 months equates to 3360 emails for the year. Or is multiplied by the number of folks subscribed to arrive at your 133,000 number?
