Question about mass e-mail via smtp

[Cylon_ally]

Hello there, i am a board (phpbb3) administrator, moved to x10 recently, i got 126 members at the moment, some of them was bored about the forum because our last webhoster was very, veryyyyyyyyyyy slow + ads autoredirecting etc...

Now my question, i want to send an mail to all my users via the forum, using smtp protocol (it point to a gmail account).
This e-mail will explain that we moved to a powerfull webhost (x10 of course ), recent modification etc...
So, i want to know if there is no risk about getting blacklisted or something, and if x10 allow that kind of mass e-mailing (in this case it is very exceptional)

Thanks for your answer.

That is fine. I believe there is a way in phpbb3 to limit the number of emails being set at a time. I would set that to 10 so that x10 or gmail doesn't stop the emails.
