   I'm on 000webhost and I use Mark Jaquith's "Subscribe to Comments" among others and my hosting account was suspended last night when a discussion, well, got out of hand.

   000webhost's email sending limit is 'No more than 30 emails per 5 minutes and no more than 100 emails per hour.'

   000webhost's PHP config doesn't support SSL/TLS so I can't send via Gmail. In any case, Gmail also has a limit of "100 people at a time".

   So as a stopgap I added a "ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT 28" clause to Jaquith's plugin and crossed my fingers.

   Before I go study how to add the Throttle plugin to Swift Mailer and use Swift as a wp_mail() replacement, I thought of coming here to ask if someone has already made a throttling solution or plugin.

   Or maybe someone knows a free or low-cost SMTP server service?

   Yes, I would like to find a solution, too. With Subscribe to Comments (S2C) a post get more comments, and a post can easily get dozens or even hundreds of comments or commenters. S2C needs some sort of throttle, like ...

   "space emails this many seconds apart: __15_ "

   or

   "send only this many emails per minute: __4_ "

   or even

   "don't send immediately, send notifications every __1_ hour(s)"
