send emails over web server when mail server limit is reached

[froot]

hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying your Sunday,

I have a limit of 5000 mails per day on the mail server and 5000 mails per day on the web server. I'm usually sending emails over the mail server, contact form, newsletter and more, seldomly on the web server. So the mail server limit is reached rather quickly, the web server limit as good as never. Is there a way to (1) catch a failed attempt to send an email (if the limit is reached) and (2) to continue sending emails over the web server when the mail server limit is reached? And then what's the exact API to send over php as opposed to WireMailSMTP ?

thanks for help!

Not sure I fully follow the issue - but wouldn't it be easier to just use an email MSP like Mailgun to route all your emails. You can send 10's of thousands of emails at low cost this way and not have to worry about hitting limits?

Plus the WireMailgun module works a treat ?

yes, you are so right. My client is reluctant to use a service like that though. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
