Including a delay between emails?

[sjec]

Hello,

Our host ISP has limits on the number of emails that can the queued at one time. When you try to send to more than a handful of people the system throws the email away with an error.

When using Thunderbird mailer with the mailmerge addin we are able to add a delay (fixed or random) between emails and this gets around the problem.

As I understand it from internet searches, Admidio does not have a 'wait' or 'pause' setting between emails.

I would like to manually code in a sleep, but cannot find the right module to add it in. I tried putting a sleep after '// finally send the mail $sendResult = $email->sendEmail();' in message_send.php but this only did one sleep for all the emails.

Can anyone suggest the correct place to add the delay?

Thanks

Hi,

Have you found a workaround?
I have the same issue, I'm limited to 80/h and we have 120+ members

Our ISP offered a marketing upgrade, but they manage the members' list, so I will have to duplicate the contacts, which is a tedious process.

Thanks

Hi,
I am sending the emails with batches of 50 recipients in BCC and never ran into rate limits. Did you try this setting?
