New anti-spam measures from broadband providers can hurt e-mail delivery

New limits on simultaneous SMTP connections and volume rates put in place by a growing number of local broadband providers are making it more difficult for e-mail marketers? messages to get through to consumers, according to a Bigfoot Interactive white paper released this week.

E-mail sent by marketers attempting to open too many concurrent SMTP connections or sending too many messages in too short of a period can result in ?time-out? errors or ?delays? at broadband providers, Bigfoot said.

?Marketers that don?t properly adjust to these new thresholds risk having their messages blocked at many smaller and mid-sized e-mail account providers, such as BellSouth, Comcast, and RoadRunner, which typically account for between 10% and 20% of consumer marketing lists,? the report said.

Breaking through to broadband customers is especially important because they tend to have higher incomes than dial-up customers, Bigfoot said. The report cites research showing that almost 60% of households with high-speed connections have incomes above $150,000.

Maybe they are only referring to a specific demographic with that '60%'?

You know, like "60% of households with high-speed connections IN LA have incomes above $150,000"?
