your host might not allow you because they don't want you to be a spammer. what you should do is setup a cron job for when you want the emails to be sent out. 1st hour you send the 1st 99, second hour you send the next 99 and so on.
is see how this would be a problem as you have 50000 emails but with that amount of emails who are you? sounds kinda like a spammer a little... no offence.

Is it 100 in a minute or 100 in an hour? There would be workarounds that use binaries on the host server but you'd be breaking their rules so it's probably best to just not go there. Find another host, get a VDS or use your own SMTP server.

Shared hosts tend to limit you to only sending a small number because sending email takes a lot of server resources (connections specifically). If you want to do mass emailing you should get your own dedicated server. For the record, my email marketing application manages about 600 emails a minute running on a relatively cheap server.

By the way why do these programmer make phplist...phpnewsletter...
that way may be mysite cannot have greeting system as well
i am totally surprised...
if more than 100 people send greeting with in ahour may be 9 pm in cristmas time i will be fine
it sounds like joke...
may be bottom line is they want money
money for every thing
if i pay money thats doesn't becomes spam if i dont i becomes spam
so that may these all newsletter scripts and all are totally depended on web host
by the way what do u mean by my own smtp server
thats means isp's server ?
may be they will ask for additinal money as well
this is just a email alret(which was entered by user themselves) in this worldcup ,one time so
i dont know i should spend extra money or not
lets see what can be done
