Hey everyone! I’m working on a website project that uses PHPMailer to send emails through our company’s Gmail accounts via SMTP. Our setup sends two emails when a customer signs up: a receipt and a video ticket. We also plan to resend all video tickets before an event starts.
I’m a bit worried about hitting email sending limits. Does anyone know how many emails we can send per minute, hour, or day using PHPMailer with Gmail SMTP? We’re using Google Apps for Business, if that makes a difference.
I want to make sure we don’t run into any issues with our email sending, especially when we need to send out a bunch of video tickets before an event. Any info or tips would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
While Gmail’s SMTP service is convenient, it’s not optimized for bulk sending. For your use case, I’d recommend looking into transactional email services like SendGrid or Mailgun. They offer better deliverability, higher sending limits, and detailed analytics. These services integrate easily with PHPMailer and can handle large-scale mailings without triggering spam filters. Additionally, they provide features like email scheduling and templating, which could be useful for your video ticket resends. Consider the long-term scalability of your project when choosing an email solution.
hey there! gmail has some limits, but they’re pretty generous for biz accounts. I think it’s like 2000 emails per day? not 100% sure tho. you might wanna look into sending in batches or using a dedicated email service if u need to send tons. also, watch out for spam filters! good luck with ur project!
