Emailing News Letter via Brightbox

Hi, my client is currently sending out a daily news letter to 2,000 subscribers every day. In the new year the want to increase this to about 11,000.

I’m due to build a rails-based interface for doing this, but it will not be ready for production in time. If install postfix and set up the SPF records (or whatever they were called), can I temporarily have an in-house app use my brightbox to send emails?

Assuming it’s not UCE, this should be fine, though don’t use the shared relay for sending such a large volume of email. So, make sure your postfix configuration doesn’t have a relayhost config pointing at smtp-relay.brightbox.net.

Also, make sure you have a reverse dns record for your Brightboxes IP address – if not, file a ticket with us requesting one. This helps you look like less of a spammer.
