Can I limit my emails going out? I know . . sounds funny

[lorri]

I know we can schedule emails to go out on a daily basis, but I am wanting to schedule and send emails out on an hourly basis so I can limit how many emails go to a certain ISP each hour.

I know we live in a time of "speed" which is what people want" . . but new rules for deliverability make it more important to get emails delivered rather than how many we can send.

Is it possible to configure use of ListMailPro so that we can send out only a certain number of emails each hour?

Lon, at this time throttling is available for the alternate mailing method, "internal PHP mail".

You will find some settings Delay "X" ms per message and "X" mins per "X" messages.

I would advise simply setting the first option, with the second set to 0.

A calculation might be

5000 messages per hour = 3600 seconds / 5000 = a delay of 720 ms

In a future update throttling will be more simple with a delay of X seconds (can be a 3 point decimal) per message.  It will also be able to be enabled for both SMTP and PHP mail.
