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.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko

133,000 is EXACTLY 475 times 280, so it is possible that there are 475 subscribers receiving 280 messages.

It’s a monthly limit on the number of messages. And as Ted pointed out, each post gets sent to each subscriber: 475 as of last May, though it’s down to 474 as of Jan1 (https://leafe.com/archives/msg/512459). So that’s where the 133K comes from.

Ah, I see this now. Please disregard my last post.
Too late - I already replied back to your last response! But - i know what happened - you read things in order - and replied immediately instead of seeing the other replies to the thread...
