PATIENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Most email programs have limits on the number of emails that can be sent per hour, day, week,
etc. Familiarize yourself with the limits so that you do not receive rejections for exceeding your
maximum. You may wish to set up more than one account and vary the account when sending
group emails.
Click Save Changes, and OK.
