hwy guys,  
  
  
  
just started going through [mautic.net](http://mautic.net) yesterday and i was wondering, can i send emails using mautic self hosted server without the need for smtp ?  
  
  
  
i did few test emails and they went out. and on the paid plan it says " Unlimited (Rate Limited)" what does that mean exactly ? what is the real limit daily or hourly or monthly … extra  
  
  
  
Thanks

Look in the lower right corner, hover on the bar, you have hourly limits.

Thanks MarcinW , and is there a way to increase that quicker than the standard way ? obviously through Mautic not smtp.
