I already sent you a private message indicating that I think you will need<br>to go with dedicating hosting or with an alternate SMTP server.&nbsp; However,<br>I had another thought.&nbsp; Many have a limit of a certain number of emails
<br>per hour.&nbsp; Hostgator has a publicly established limit of 200, but if you<br>call them and talk to them they will up your limit to 400.&nbsp; If you then<br>throttle your email list so that it only sends 400 per hour, you should be
<br>ok, as long as you are ok with having your 5000 emails go out over a 12<br>hour period.<br><br>Drupal777
