Sending Email via SMTP API
For the SMTP sample code and specific request parameters, response parameters, and error codes, see SMTP Sample Call. SMTP Sending Frequency
The current call rate of the SMTP API is limited to 20 times per second under the same Tencent Cloud account appId. In addition, the same sender can send up to 10 emails per hour to the same recipient.
We will deliver emails as soon as possible after receiving them. However, due to the different traffic throttling and reputation protection policies of different email systems, in order to improve your email delivery success rate, we recommend you send emails at a lower frequency.
