Newsletter Sending Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to Hosted Exchange to prevent misuse and the distribution of spam:
- Hosted Exchange uses a variable rate limit. The limits may be adjusted at regular intervals.
- If the rate limit is exceeded, senders receive a bounce-back message indicating that the rate limit has been exceeded.
- If the rate limit is exceeded, outgoing messages may be marked and listed as spam in the logs.
- Sending is limited to a maximum of 99 recipients per Hosted Exchange user.
- If this number is exceeded, correct delivery cannot be guaranteed. The system may reject the sending attempt.
Note: No exceptions can be granted for these restrictions.
Spam Filters and Policies
Each Hosted Exchange user can adjust the spam filter policies for their account.
