You need to contact your hosting about this, if you didn't change any settings.

Please suggest any hack... My hosting provider replied as follows.. " Hope you are doing well!, WE have checked and found that your domain was sending mails in mass amount. So server script will block the mass mails automatically. . Also please note that your account is hosted on a shared server, so you are allowed to send 300 mails per hour or 25 emails per 5 min including all CCs and BCCs."

First read I asked about"hack" to resolve this issue like having / developing a script that can trigger custom number of emails@ custom number of time in mass mailing panel this will save unnecessary spending of money for vpn of a non profit making community.. And that's why opensource project are respected for..

You can hack a restriction from a mail, if you mean to drip the emails so they send X amount X time. Just head over to mail chimp and take your database in csv and upload in there. Its free. But for non profit $50 bucks or less depending on your site is not much. You will make that off a busy site with adsense.

@Chris

This glitch was fixed in 1.3.1. If you still get such error, then you probably have an old version (1.3.0). Check it in ow_version.xml file, laced in site root directory.

Okay it seems like the ow_version.xml file did not upload when I uploaded the upgrade so I got a up to date message after I did the upgrade, now I don't get the error anymore only problem my members don't receive the mass mail

Chris, is the issue with mass mailing only? Do your members receive any other emails from your website? What about Cron? Is it set up and runs properly?
