Introduction
The shared mass mailing service consists of a private mailbox on a shared mail server which is dedicated and optimised to the task of high volume mass mailing. The service allows for the sending of high volume mailings without any potential load or reputation impact to Pipe Ten’s non mass mailing shared email services.
Deployment
The mass mailing service will be configured and deployed as follows:
1.1. DNS records will be configured for ‘mailer.yourdomain.ext’ to be pointed to the appropriate mailing server, if your DNS is managed externally we can provide instructions and assistance.
1.2. Authentication/Login details for 1 x 10GB POP3/IMAP/SMTP will be provided, by default with username: newsletter@mailer.yourdomain.ext and with secured password.
1.3. Spam reports sent from your mailbox will be reported to your mailbox for your use.
Usage
The mass mailing service can be used in the following ways:
2.1. Use within the mass-mailer webmail service at http://mailer.pipeten.co.uk/mail/
2.2. Use within your local email client for the sending and receipt of emails.
2.3. Use within any local or remote mass-mailer software for the sending and receipt of emails.
The mass mailing service must not be used in the following ways:
2.4. For the sending of SPAM or UCE as defined within our Mass Mail Policy (MMP).
2.5. For critical business emails, or situations where guaranteed or timely delivery is required.
2.6. For the sending of emails associated with any domain name or mailbox other than that supplied for your use by Pipe Ten (you must send as newsletter@mailer.yourdomain.ext).
The following service restrictions exist:
2.7. Minimal* volume restrictions
2.8. Minimal* rate limiting restrictions Minimal
* is defined as meaning anything non-abusive, as in it does not impact or hinder on service stability or availability. The service is by design made to handle large mail volumes, but ultimately there is still a finite amount of resources and if you send 1000’s per second you may experience slow downs.
Terms
All Pipe Ten standard Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Terms of Service (TOS) apply, including a less restrictive interpretation of the Mass Mail Policy (MMP).
