Hi
Thanks for that. Is there any way to see this limit using phpinfo() or any
other way. I have asked the server host, but they have not offered any
possible explanation. I probably sent about 20 emails over a half hour
period before it stopped working. Hardly what I would call excessive, but
maybe there is some limitation if the emails are coming from a script. It
has been about 4 hours and I am still not able to send emails from the
script.
Thanks again.

It's certainly possible for servers to limit outgoing messages in a given
time period, either by number of recipients or number of messages, or a
combination of the two.
