These limitations helps us to avoid any kind of email spamming activities form our servers. You cannot send more than the specified numbers of emails in an hour. Actually, email servers get blacklisted due to the 3 main reasons.

3) If you are using mailing list, then make sure that you don’t use cheap list. They contain spam trap emails. You should use lists that have an email and users IP address. Even, if you send regular bulk emails, then your IP will get blacklisted. On the other hand IP unblocking process is very complected and usually takes over 30 days.
