Email List and SQL Server question

Discussion in 'Pre-sales questions' started by beamedin, Aug 1, 2010.

  1. Hello,

    I'm currently evaluating Winhost for longer-term hosting. Two questions:

    - What is the best way to manage a mailing list used to distribute newsletters and the like? Obviously, it is easy to build a mail sender, but are there restrictions on the number of emails that can be sent or the number of BCC recipients or any other challenges? Likely 1k-5k maximum recipients, sent once or twice a month at most.

    - We'd like to use TransactionScopes from the System.Transactions namespace in conjunction with some LINQ to SQL code to manage database transactions. However, this requires MSDTC to be enabled on the SQL server...am I correct in guessing you do not allow this?

    Thanks!
     
  2. The limit for recipients is 40. The limit on mail is 1000 per hour, with a 5000 per day maximum.

    Correct, we do not support MSDTC.
