We have a process that sends an e-mail to approximately 10,000 subscribers to inform them of crime in their area based off a buffer from the subscriber address that we are considering to replace. Is this feasible using FME Flow or FME Hosted? Or is that too many e-mails to send at once using these platforms?
Question
Is it recommended to have a process that sends 10,000 daily e-mails to subscribers using FME Flow?

FME Flow doesn't come with an outgoing mailserver so you'll need to supply one yourself. So when you're looking for one make sure it's able to handle that volume.
You may also want to use a Decelerator in your workspace to avoid overloading the mailserver.
I agree with @Hans van der Maarel , what you need is a bulk e-mail service provider. It's a fairly specialized task due to increasingly aggressive anti-spam measures that can be surprisingly tricky to work around. Try typing something like "bulk email service" into your favorite search engine. If they provide an API of some sort, FME is most probably able to interact with it.
