My hosting provider has an e-mail limit of 50 per five minutes or 200
per hour, which posed an issue with a Mailman mailing list I hosted
there that had 187 subscribers. I worked around it by installing Dada
Mail on the web site, which throttles outgoing mailing list mail to
stay within the hosting provider's limits.
