Problems with notifications: hitting email quota limits

    How do bbpress sites deal with email quota limits? We’re hosted with Dreamhost and the limit is 100 outgoing emails per hour. We’ve also tried setting up SMTP through gmail, but the limit there is 500 per day. Either way, our notifications are enough that we hit those limits quite often.

    I’m sure we’re not the first to deal with this… so what kind of solutions are out there?

    Really? No one has insight into this?

    Look into installing an SMTP plugin and getting an account at Sendgrid.

    If you need to send that many emails per hour, then I suggest moving to a dedicated email service.

    I don’t have a view on WordPress plugins for SMTP, but maybe some like ‘postman smtp’ might do caching or retry ?

    I am creating a bbpress forum hosted on Dreamhost and before launching, I wanted to understand how the email limitations apply to bbpress forum update notifications. So Jon Fergus, it’s the same issue you have/had. Have you gained any insight you can share? With so many bbpress + dreamhost sites, there MUST be an easy way to deal with this. Any help? Anyone?
