Sendmail limit for my droplet

Posted on December 26, 2016

I have almost 5500 users on my site. I’m want to send a weekly newsletter to all my users. Do i have a droplet limit for sending emails to my users (sendmail) or i should use an external service like ex. sendgrid?

If you respect rules stated at the Terms of Service, heading 3. Rules of Conduct, Email Violations, you can send as many as you want: Email Violations

Subscribers shall comply with all laws regarding the sending of commercial electronic messages or other marketing or electronic communications.
