On a normal server setup (VPS or dedicated server) with cPanel, and everything up to date, with default out of the box settings (php.ini and all that), it works just fine.

You must have a VPS at least, unless you want to only send a few hundred emails! The reason why is 99.8% of servers limit the outgoing emails per hour! Hostgator $5/$10 month shared hosting has a 400 emails per hour limit, and almost every other host has some limit! The ONLY ONLY way you will have unlimited emails per hour, is if you at least are on a VPS!

Thanks for the reply.

I'm on a VPS, but I'm not sending emails from my server. I have no plans to spam anyone and am using Amazon SES (similar to Sendgrid).

Everything seems to work fine, except I'm unable to send test emails (Settings > Mail Server Details >
Let me specify my own SMTP server details).

This is the error I get:

A test email has not been successfully sent to the email address ****@gmail.com: Login failed, please check the username and password
and try again.

Not sure why, the same SMTP credentials work fine with arpReach.

So, I'll ask again... Anyone get it to work with AWS SES?

Hi Cyberpunk, I'm trying to use this version, but every time when ran the test, system was returning an error: Connection refused(111), the environment I'm using is Bluehost, do you think this is a problem?
BTW, how to make IEM work with PowerMTA, is there any tutorial, such as video, PDF, etc.?

Hi Cyberpunk,
Thanks for letting us have a play with this.
finally got it configured, testing went ok.
however, keep getting this cron error via email (instructed IEM to email cron reports):
Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was built with configuration 2.2.0, whereas running engine is API220090626,NTS
Failed loading /usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.9/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so: /usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.9/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I got in touch w/ the hosting company, they corrected the ioncube and rolled back the php from 5.3 to 5.2.
They cannot think of anything else on what could be wron
Any ideas?
cheers

Run it on your server or VPS/Dedicated....
IMO it is not suppose to be run on a Regular Hosting. You will have a limit of ~100-200 emails per hour.
It is only worth it if you have your own server. It is very close to a SPAM program for me, even if you have a good list of subscribers!

SPAM is unwanted emails... if you have legit subscribers who joined your lists through squeeze pages, or bought something from you, then it is not spam. If you follow the rules and mail to those who really opted in, then your alright.

You are correct about the server. Shared cheap ass crap hosting is not going to work. You need to cough up some extra cash/month if you want to mail, and there is no getting around that. You will need at least a VPS, which will cost you about $30/mo or more. If you only need a bigger server for mailing, then get a VPS. You don't need a dedicated server if the whole purpose is for emailing. Most VPS providers offer unlimited emails per hour. Mine costs about $20/month plus about $10/mo for cpanel. I do not use servers without cpanel, it just makes managing the server a lot easier! So when looking at the VPS costs, also consider the price of adding cPanel to it. I highly recommend having cpanel!

Also make sure you throttle your own hourly rate. For starters, stick to maybe 1k/hour or something fairly low for a few email blasts.. and keep your total # of recipients low.. maybe send to 4k at 1k/hr, which would take 4 hours to send. Send every few days, either to that list or another... Then you can slowly increase the max/hour and the total recipients... I can blast you 5k an hour if I wanted to about 50-60k contacts... if you try to do that on day 1, you will land in spam folders easily.. you have to work your way up.. remember, Google/Yahoo/Hotmail are all monitoring how many emails per hour, and per day, they get from you. A sudden huge spike will set off red flags... start small and slow, and build your way up.. it builds trust with them and will allow you to have a better inbox rate when sending to 60 or 100k people!

*Settings OK!
*Sending messages OK!
*Form Code OK!
*Broadcast OK!
*Contact List OK!

+ + + For Cyberpunk, very good work!

it is a newbie question and i really appreciate the help
If i setup IEM on a shared hosting and used Amazon SMTP to send mails, Will a limit of mail per hour of my shared hosting affect mails sent via amazon SMTP ?
