My SMTP server stops working after a while

If you are sending messages using the SMTP delivery method, there are a few reasons why your SMTP server may appear to stop working after sending a few messages. The most common reason is that your ISP has a limit on the number of emails you're allowed to send in one day.

Here are some things to try:

Use e3 Delivery Service to deliver your messages instead of the SMTP delivery method. There is no daily limit when using e3 Delivery Service.

Direct Mail can throttle the number of messages it sends to your ISP. Choose Direct Mail > Preferences... and click "SMTP Accounts". At the bottom of the Preferences window click "Send no more than X messages at a time to SMTP server".
