Email Marketing is very popular and important today. It can helps you improve both relationship building and communication for your business to prosper. As we know, DNN provides a simple newsletter module to let site administrator send bulk mails (by click DNN built-in menu “Admin – Newsletters”). This module works when you have small recipients (e.g.100-200 email addresses). However, when you try sending over 500 emails use this module, it doesn’t work as expected due to the following reasons:
1.This module will try sending bulk emails together by using host defined SMTP server. However, nearly 100% email server have quota limitation. For example, Google Gmail account allows you send up to 500 mails per day, 100 mails per hour; Yahoo mail allows up to 200 mails per day and100 mails per hour; MS hotmail allows 100 per day and 50 per hour; Our mail server provider (mail.DnnModule.com) allows us sending 500 mails per day and 60 mails per hour.
This means most of your emails are abandoned by mail server. For example, when we click “Admin – Newsletters” module to send mails to over 8000 registered users of http://DnnModule.com for the first time, nearly 99% mails are abandoned by our mail server. And our hosting vendor warned us not do that action again, otherwise our mail accounts will be closed.
Please note, the abandon is controlled by mail server, DNN is not aware of that. And DNN just think mail was sent success.

In one word, DNN built-in “Admin - Newsletter” is not an ideal module to processing email. If you need a more powerful module to handle your email marketing, Cross Bulk Mailer is one of the best choices for you.:
