Title: Mail Sending Set Up Question
Post by: ifsbos on November 02, 2007, 03:21:03 pm
I can only email 200 per hour. I have the latest version of the LM.

How exactly do I set up either SMPT or Internal PHP mail to prevent
the host from bouncing everything back after the 200 limit.

What do I put on php mail()  and what would I put on SMPT?

My list has 7,000 members. I would like to send  199 emails every 61 minutes until the whole list gets mailed.

This is simple question, so I hope there is a simple answer.  Thanks.

What would I change here: Screenshot...

I apologize for the delay.  With your list size I must recommend finding another host with a more fair email policy.  35 hours is far too long for a PHP script to be running.  Some recommended hosts are here: Email Web Hosting, Servers & Domains Reviewed (http://listmailpro.com/forum/index.php?topic=1699.0).

You would need to use internal PHP mail to enable the delay feature.  Let's do the math:

200/60 = 3.3(33) per minute

3 per minute would be 180 per hour.  That would be a setting of 1 email every 20 seconds, so "Delay 20000 ms per email and 0 mins every 999 emails".

If we reduced the delay to 19000 ms (19s)... 3600/19 = 189.5.  18000 ms 3600/18 = 200 dead on.
