Dunno how mathematics works in your universe, but 4 * 150 != 350 in the one in which I live :)
Don: Options...
* Switch to a dedicated server, or a VPS host that doesn't have that limit.
* Use Gmail or another hosted email provider (may have a similar limit but I've never run into it with Gmail).
* Use a service like http://sendgrid.com/.
