Gmail has a 24 hour rolling period limit of 2000 emails, outlook has a limit of 1000 emails and all other service providers has a limit.
How does Saleshandy and sendpluse send almost 10k emails per day from gmail when the limit exists? What should I do if I want to send such number of emails? Is it possible using python?
Gmail and outlook both do indeed have certain restrictions and limits when it comes to the number of emails that can be sent out in a day; unfortunate I know.
I am Vatsal from SalesHandy, and I will explain the process of sending 10,000 emails from Gmail (& outlook) all at once.
SalesHandy’s mass mailing feature with automated follow-up lets you schedule as many emails as possible and yes, we are talking more than 10,000 emails too.
We mentioned that you can schedule all of these emails to be sent at once, but the sending will be limited by your email service provider's daily email sending limit. It is not recommended to email blasts at once because it may harm your email account's reputation and cause your emails to end up in the recipient's spam box.
Mail Merge Campaigns can be sent using SalesHandy.
If you wish to know more on how exactly one goes about this process, you can read our detailed blog here - Gmail / Outlook.
Feel free to ask me any other questions you have! :)

Twice a day I send emails to multiple aliases connected to my google account. Let's say I send emails to 8 aliases - every time only 3-5 recipients (also random recipients)got emails in their inbox - the rest is missing. I checked spam, bin and filtered folders as Google recommended but ran out of ideas for now.
Also SendGrid UI says that all emails were "DELIVERED" and I use dedicated IP for delivering emails - SenderScore shows my reputation is uknown - maybe I send too few mails a day?
We are using sendgrid to send a weekly newsletter to about 50k emails. We have an authenticated domain as well as two of our own IP addresses. Our script batch sends 500 emails at a time to all the addresses with personalization. However, when we run the script, many of the emails are being processed and then being deferred according to sendgrid logs. The response is 202. Some emails receive the newsletter but others do not. Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?

I would certainly follow flaxon's advice, check the dashboard and see what it says about your delivery as well as bounces or spam reports. There is a good article here on what being "deferred" means too.
I would also look into SendGrid's Marketing Campaigns. It is a better way to send bulk email, like to your 50k email list, than making several requests as you describe.
A client sends out monthly emails to about 1 million users which will grow with time. They currently send through an in-house exchange server.
Their current approach starts with first preparing all emails, recipients and attachments, then a script starts feeding the exchange server. Sending just a million mails generally takes days.
My role is to propose a better approach/solution that can get these emails sent and possibly delivered within hours. The choice of using 3rd party services like amazon ses and sendgrid exists but what will make the delivery time reduce as required.
I'll start this with two disclaimers: 1) I am a SendGrid employee, 2) This question is right on the border of questions StackOverflow doesn't like.
That said, both SES or SendGrid will be able to process emails at a rate much faster than 1 million over several days.
Speaking for SendGrid, we accept all mail passed to us and queue it on our end, so if you're able to send a million emails at us in a second, we'll accept them and deal with queueing on our servers. So that answers the question of how fast you can get the mail away from you; leaving the question of how fast it will get to your users.
That's a harder question and depends on a number of factors, including if we're receiving negative feedback from email providers (Google, Yahoo, Comcast, etc.), and your typical send volume. All said, it could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, but days is definitely unheard of.
As far as I know SES will do something of the same nature. SES enforces client side send rates (meaning you'll need to send them only N emails per period), but this can be upped greatly depending on your volume and trust. Again, as far as I know, SES should take anywhere in the neighborhood of minutes to hours to process and send 1m emails.
I created event registration web sites (you can imagine something like http://www.eventbrite.com/), which allow users to subscribe for event updates. When subscribed, we send mass emails (with the same content) to those users.
It was ok before, but recently I noticed that GMail always put the email into Spam folder.
As any texts would always go to Spam folder, I suspect that my domain was blacklisted by Gmail.
1) Is there a way to request google to put my domain into the whitelist?
2) Let's say it can't and I decide to register for new domain.
Is there a way to avoid the mass email to be marked as spam by Gmail? (may be something like what Facebook email notification do?)
Yes, don't send mass email :-) If you really want to avoid being considered a spammer, send out emails with less recipients, and don't swamp the mail server with them. Let's say, for example, you have thirty recipients for a given update. You can send out emails with one recipient every minute for a half hour.
Now the numbers may be different (and will of course depend on the success of your site) but the basic theory will stand up for quite a while.
As to how to get yourself whitelisted in GMail, that's really up to the recipient. They can usually do it by simply adding your email address to their contact list.
Keep in mind whitelisting there refers to individual GMail accounts, GMail itself does not whitelist IP addresses.
It does blacklist them if you misbehave but that generally means you get delivery rejects when trying to send. The fact that your messages are going in to the mail system and being delivered to spam folders indicates that this is an account-based thing, not a global GMail blacklisting of your IP/domain.
In any case, the place to report problems for GMail delivery problems is here.
As a school, we send out mass emails to our parents about events and issues. There's no way we have the time to spend sending out one email per minute. What we did was sign up with AOL as a business account, and we are allowed to do "bulk mailings" until they get multiple complaints. However, gmail clients usually have to list us as a valid sender or else those emails end up in spam folders. Works the same for clients using college alumni accounts from edu addresses. Gmail is the only one who regularly gives us this problem for our recipients on their email servers. We let parents know at orientation that they will have to specifically admit our emails via some setting on gmail.
I am trying to send bulk email from a few accounts email accounts, and for some reason, I think the emails get blocked and they do not reach the recipient. I think it is because of spam / filtering rules. Is it possible for me to create say 100 different email accounts in a very short amount of time and send 1 email from each of the accounts ?
Is there any service/ idea / script to create a lot of email accounts in a very short amount of time ?
Creating 100+ accounts on your own server would be pointless. It's usually the originating server and isp and/or the email's content that causes it to be flagged as spam. Creating 100+ accounts elsewhere MAY work, but then each of those other servers may also be considered as a spam source and any mails you send from that particular account will go missing as well.
You can check your mail server's logs to see if the mails get dumped by the receiving mail server. Some of them will do the filtering right at the initial connection/send attempt. However, some will pretent to accept the mail (and you see a 200 OK acceptance message), but then toss the mail in the trash automatically. In this case, you'd nave no idea what happened, as everything would appear to have worked fine.
I had set it up easily using Yahoo Mail Plus. They had the feature of Disposable Email Accounts. You can create 500 of them !
