E-mails per hour limits

[incomplex]

I have an website hosted on hostmonster, it's an online community that use an contact importer system when a new users sing in. This help's my website to grow. On hostmonster I'm limited to only 500 email/hour... So if i have 3 or 4 new users that invite their contact list and pass the 500 emails limit the host stop send emails.... Is there a way to pass this limit?
Thanks.

500 per hour is the max you can get with Hostmonster.

You might be able to find a company that allows for more and move your email server to that company.

:( This is the only thing that bother me up on this hosting... The rest of the services are perfect..

you could spread them out a little with some coding, unless of course you need to send more than 12000 emails a day.

I will try to direct the e-mails first to an script that send only 500 per hour and then after an hour to send the rest... Hope this will work...
thanks for the support!

it can do a query,
then

while ($emails_to send>0){
//send 500 emails,
sleep(3600);}

actually there would be let cpu consumed if you ran a cron job on a script that would email the next 500 within a list or query then you wouldnt have a process running hours, even if it was just sleeping, im sure there is memory being used on the timer for the wake up call.
