Limit sending to no more than 100 emails per hour

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to Phplist. I have encountered several issues with it, but I have solved most of it thanks to this helpful community.

I want to hear some advice about how to set throttling and batch processing for this scenario:

- Send 500 emails per hour for 10 hours per day

Since my hosting allows me to send 5000 emails per day (did not specify how many emails per hour).

I also want to know how to set this batch processing automatically using either cron or commandline (whichever is best suited for my situation). I do not want to run the batch process using a browser since I have a large email list to send to. I have a VPS hosted at myhosting.com using Plesk Panel.

If anyone could help me with this, that would be very much appreciated. This is the last issue I need to solve before I continue with my campaign.

Thank you very much to all.

I am sorry if my first post is one already covered but in my searching I did not come up with a answer.
My host allows 250 smtp relays, I would like to set up so at midnight the next 250 in the queue go out and so forth until all have gone. Thanks

Hi Gang!

My host allows me to send 750 emails per hour. What would be my optimal throttle settings for this?

Thanks a lot!

A throttle value of 5 seconds will send 720 msgs per hour:
define('MAILQUEUE_THROTTLE',5);

Thanks for the reply! It this case what values should I have set for MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE and MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD?

Thanks a lot!
