No, I am NOT spamming.
Our company runs serveral daily e-newsletter, with totally about a
half million of subscribers. We are planning to make an "open"
newsletter plateform, let our web site members create their own
personal newsletter ( authenticated and supervised by our staff to
prevent spam mail ). we estimated the total number of subscribers and
the number of newsletter will grow even more. Surely our member
would want their newsletters to be sent ASAP. So we have to
increase concurrency.
And our company is not in USA. In our country, there are only few
large major ISPs dominate the market. I don't know what's the case
in US, but nearly half of our current subscribers come from only 4 ISPs.
We encountered only slight SMTP blocking problems now. But we
expect the problem will grow with our subscribers and concurrency settings.
That's why we are looking for ways to deliver large number of
newsletters with maximum speed possible, without overloading remote
mail servers. If my questions cause controversy, I apologize.
But never did I intend to abuse Internet e-mail.
