Most Internet providers limit the number of emails sent for a set periode If you have a webhosting account, you can use their SMTP, wich should not be lilmited. If you have a dynamic IP adress, you can tell EMA to pause after xxx emails, and reboot your internet device. This will change your IP and reset the email limit

How to add an unsuscribe link to in my emails.
There is 2 ways to do this:
The easiest is to add this this type of link : <mailto:webmaster@yoursite.com?subject=unsuscribe >
click here to unsuscribe
This method is easy to set up, but won't work if the recipient hasn't configured his mail client (like outlook or thunderbird)
The second way is to create an HTML page on your website. On this page, the user will enter the email address to unsuscribe and click a button. This button calls a PHP script which sends an email to you. You then need to add the link to this page to your email.
Here's an example of an unsuscribe page.
desabonnement.html
Here's the PHP code
desabonnement.php
This method is best, as it will always work. You can use these scripts but don't forget to modify the email address
Mailing has been interupted (internet offline, computer crash,...) How to restart form the last adress ?
Restart EMA if necessary. Go to 'send mailing'. Go to 'select recipients' and delete the emails with the sent Status. Then go to 'send mailing' as usual.
While sending emails, you can encounter these errors :
103 = Cannot find the SMTP server. The server is unreachable. Check it's name and the port used.. Also check that a firewall doesn't block EMA.
102 = The SMTP server won't answer. This can happen if the sending rate is to fast (enter a longer pause between emails), or if there's too many invalid addresses.
EMA is compiled for 32 bits environnements. If you are using a linux 64 Bits distribution, check if you have installed 32 Bits (ia32-libs) librairies. You can install them this way :
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
I can't use Yahoo, Gmail SMTPs.
Yes you can. Use port 465 with SSL, port 587 with TLS may also work
