For the best email experience you can follow the following guidelines:
Keep under the above limits.
Use your ISP’s SMTP server to send mail. For example, if you are using a Telkom adsl line to send mail, use smtp.saix.net.
The connection may be faster, depending where your mail service is hosted, and you will avoid using lots of bandwidth on your hosting package
Avoid sending emails larger than 2mb’s or even 1mb. The larger the emails, the longer it will take to send out the mail, and also the chances that the sending process will time out will be increased.
Should you have a fast adsl connection to the internet, remember that some people still use dial up, or GPRS, and will definitely not appreciate someone sending them large messages.
Don’t send out unnecessary messages to other people, without them consenting to this before the time.SPAM has become a major problem, and lots of people and organizations take SPAM very seriously. If someone complains that you are sending them SPAM, then your email address could get lacklisted on some servers, or depending on the severity of the SPAM, you could even be fined.
