A Finding On Gmail Sending Speed

It is interesting to find out in the following link[1]that gmail can process 1000 emails per 55 minutes. I was considering 1 per second or 60 per 1 minute or 3600 per hour (or faster of course lol) but the test was using php and it gave a gap of 3-4 per email.

Their code is this:
Code: [Select]
    <?php
        require("PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php");
        $mail = new PHPMailer();
        $mail->IsSMTP();
        $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
        $mail->Username = 'USERNAME';
        $mail->Password = 'PASSWORD';
        $mail->From 	= "go...@email.com";
        $mail->FromName = "Gmail Test";
     
        $mail->AddAddress("m...@email.com");
        for($i=0; $i<=1000; $i++){
    	   $date = date("H:i:s m/d/Y");
    	   $mail->Subject 	= "$date";
    	
    	   $mail->Body = "Test $i of PHPMailer.";
    	
    	   if(!$mail->Send()){
    	      echo "Error sending: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    	      break;
    	   }else{
    	      echo "$i. E-mail sent => $date<BR>";
    	      sleep(2);
    	      continue;
    	   }
        }

        ?>
I am interested in learning this from EA code for sending emails but where do I find them?

Gmail it really depends on your IP reputation. Big companies have a few ip's and yet can send millions of emails. I

I don't really understand what you were saying @vbgamer45.

I was referring to using gmail smtp in sending emails, not using own email server for it. So, I don't find IP issue of much relevant.

Ah yes never mind my fault did not read it clearly.

I would get a throw email account just in case gmail account if you are going to use so in case they don't like the emails you don't loose your main gmail acount.
