note- you have to check for yahoo's soft bounces before you manage them, info in the thread about it.

and i have a question about how many emails it sends at a time and how often it sends... i have mine set up to send 10 at a time, but how often does it do this? after looking into it i see that it only takes my setup about 20 minutes to send 4000 emails

look and see how often the cron is set to run in your "scheduled tasks" of the admincp. you can adjust the frequency there, i imagine.

and the yahoo/hotmail spam thing concerns me... is there a way around this at all? for all i know i've already been flagged (have had this running for about a week now)

anytime you send bulk email, you have to deal with this. do you have a dedicated server, i guess? it would be a good idea to get yourself signed on for the feedback loops for those places that have them to help monitor. (for example, i'm on the aol feedback loop, so if anybody reports any email coming from my server as spam, i get notified.) yahoo doesn't as far as i know; they have a terrible practice of "soft bouncing" messages with the thinking that spammers don't retry, but real mail transport agents will. and if you host clients on your box, that's another good reason to get signed up.

honestly, i think that staying informed, making sure your emails have clear unsub instructions, and using some common sense will go a long way. when you get reported as spam, that generally means a person looks at your email from my understanding. so make sure it doesn't look like spam. make sure it says who you are, that they have agreed to get admin emails, and how to stop them...

while managing your email rep is actually a valid concern, i consder the stuff b6gm6n wrote to be straight trolling. (also found it ironic that your username is "troll" but you ain't the biggest troll in the room.)
