Gmail restrictions

Hi!

I'm using symfony and Swift mailer. I'm using Gmail since the mails from my own server were considered as spam (in gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc), I didn't have time time and energy to set up dns, mail etc .

I'm very happy using gmail though. Is there any restrictions though using this technique? Can I send as many mails as i want every day, etc?

thanks in advance!

Gmail will allow you to send 500 emails a day (MAX)

other than that Gmail is better than Yahoo for sure

Hi

You can send 2000 per day if you have the premier account.

On a related theme and probably in the wrong forum, I am currently trying to test gmail limits.

I have set up google apps for domains standard edition (as I am freetarded) and I have created two gmail accounts support@mydomain.com and webform@mydomain.com. My basic php script connects with tls to smtp.gmail.com port 587 authenticates as webform@mydomain.com and sends a plain text email to support@mydomain.com. Using phpmailer, not Swifter Mailer.

What I noticed is that

1) Yes 500 is the max. 501st message generated a 550 Daily sending quota exceeded

2) I also noted because I am an idiot and forgot to close the connection at the end of my loop before opening a new one is that there seems to be a limit on connections of around 90 and I got a 421 try again later response. However I got the same response after about 150 sends when I used the Keep Alive option so maybe it is an emails per minute limit.

I know this isn't exactly a swift mailer issue but does anybody know what limit or limits trigger the 421 try again later response?

Thanks
