Right.  I have HeartBeat A, actually just for the SMTP-relay; I haven't 
started using the heartbeat yet.

This applies only to sent emails.  So, from time to time, you need to 
SEND about 50 or so mails an hour?

Note that there is the "newsletter" option.  It is named thusly since 
people who send out newsletters normally have to send many emails within 
a short time.  If you register the sender address (normally, you can 
send from any address), I think you can send more.  (I think the 
limitation is partly as an anti-spam measure.  He needs to keep his SMTP 
relay server clean so that people won't reject it.  If you send more 
than you pay for, you get a warning etc.  I had this problem at the 
beginning due to backscatter spam.)
