I would suggest you go to a small VPS, they have no limitation regarding amount of emails sent, you have root access and can host multiple domains. I found it to be a very affordable solution.

Or even better, go dedi if you are a reseller, I believe this is the best thing you can do.

Surpass does not tolerate or condone spamming in any way. So, make sure you are sending to an OPT IN list - if you're messages get reported as spam by the recipients, your server - and all the accounts on it - are then seen as SPAMmers by spamcop and other blacklists.

That being said, set the throttle to 2 or 3messages per minute (or whatever limit it allows) and you won't have a problem - at least not with the server side limit.

Clients like this you typically see a lot of "on domain" email. Carol sending to her peers, getting responses. These won't count. They don't leave the server.
