    Are you hosting on a shared server? Most hosts will have strict daily limits on emails to prevent over use of the servers shared resourses. You may want to consider ungrading your hosting account with them - to a VPS which should not have such tight email restrictions.

    Good luck.

    There must be something more to this - 50 emails per day is not a lot? Even our smallest shared hosting plan provides for up to 150/hr or 1500 per day - and no doubt other hosts provide for similar quotas. Are you sure there is not another reason your host is concerned about the use of your current shared hosting plan?

    I agree with what was said above. There almost has to be something to this. 50/hour I can understand, but 50/day? Who is your host, if you don't mind me asking.

    To answer your second questions, yes, you should be able to integrate Gmail with PHPBB for these purposes.

    isnt much to have on budget vps. For instant you can check the list at lowendstock.com . I am sure most budget vps can support your site. With that you have more control.
