Hi guys.
How much emails can I send per day/hour using PHP sendmail?

I have never seen a limit on the use of sendmail, other than what you agreed to in the TOS and what the maximum resource limits are on your account. I wouldn't try to send out 1000 emails at once, maybe break it up into groups of 10 every 5 minutes (the shortest interval using CRON) or every couple of page loads (using PHP).

Also, you must not use your account to send unsolicited emails. I would recommend doing a few things to not end up on the list of spammers:

1. Opt-in registration. Users must sign up to receive emails.
2. Confirmation. Send a confirmation before adding the user to the list of receivers.
3. Opt-out easily. Put a link in every email (at the bottom) and on your site so that users can easily choose to stop receiving your emails.

Hope this helps!

I believe that not much people have reached the email limit. However, keep in mind that x10 doesn't check the number of email sent or the number of emails queued, but the resource usage.
This is why you should create either a cron job that sends few emails (about 10-25) every 5 minutes.

If you do not wish to create by yourself a mailing list manager with all the requirements listed in Garret's post, have a look at http://www.phplist.com/ or http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=phpmailerml
