Checkout the [PHP mail()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php) function. * But 2,600 emails to send?

He is merely stating a fact. This is not the place to be looking for help on this particular subject as it has nothing to do with WordPress. Try asking your hosts for assistance or use Google. * [Rev.

To be able to run an email campaign like you want…unless you plan on setting up your own server, you will probably have to pay someone. Free email providers ( like gmail) have to protect themselves. So you will want to find some sort of solution that will most likely cost you $$$. Something like constant contact, etc. * Thread Starter [jirehco1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jirehco1/) * (@jirehco1) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-blocks-out-emails/#post-1822468) * Thank you for the response, that is actually all the I wanted **_APOLOGIES ACCEPTED!!!!!!!_**.
