PHP and a nice for loop.

One might hack that together in Python in a half hour, depending on what kind of email address you'd be sending from, plus a few other variables.

Do you have your own mail server? If so (or especially if not so) could the mailserver handle this kind of traffic? Would these emails be plaintext or formatted, with attachments or without?

Yes we have our own mail server, yet our host has a 150 email per hour limit.

& Its just plain HTML no attachments,

Thanks.

If you're capped at 150 per hour, I don't know that there's much you can do about it.

But Python (the programming language) has built-in utilities for connecting to mailservers via POP3 and so on, so you'd just need an elegant way of keeping track of your "send to" list in a file, and you're looking at maybe twenty lines of code.

That's obviously why he only wants to send a certain amount per hour.

+ for the hour limit, just add a counter and keep track of the time

Whoops, I thought he meant that he wanted to send over 2000 emails per hour, honest misunderstanding.

I had a RedHat 6 Hylafax server that could send up to 600 faxes per hour through an 8 port fax card.

A proper mail server (e.g. Zimbra) should work fine.
Alternatively any number of scripting alternatives exist.
