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

What is the best method of adding some custom text to a node? I'd like the text to support linking and formating (as with comments). In most cases the text will be very short.
I'd like to have this text in the block containing the node content verses creating another block as with HelpTip.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm still not 100% on what you want to do, but I have two ideas:
1) Go to admin > settings > click "configure" next to the node type you want to add the message > provide the "Explanation or submission guidelines:" and then save. This will show the text on the top of the node submission form.
2) For more control you can add something in the theme layer such as editing the node.tpl.php (I think) or over-riding some theme function. I'm more guessing here since I've never done exactly this kind of thing on the node submission form.
Good luck, Greg

Hi Greg,
Thank you, this will work for a few. But unfortunately I have some Content Types that are being used for multiple purposes and my need is include description of the purpose at times. So I need something a bit more unique.
I guess that HelpTips is the only way to go but I was hoping to not force the use of more real-estate for a HelpBlock.
I was hoping to find something that could be a bit more interactive (eg: if the user wants to see it, they click show-me and it appears, then they click it again and it's gone.)
thanks Cozzi

Well that sounds pretty fancy (though still entirely possible and not a whole lot of extra work). I think for that you'll want to look into the theme developer's guide in the handbook: http://drupal.org/node/509
