Jamer Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 My host limits the sending of bulk emails to 200 within an hour, is there a way I can send a bulk email in batches? For example, send email to first 200 members, then maybe a few hours later send the same email to the next 200 members and so on...if not this might be a good feature to add in the future perhaps?

If so, does it matter where I add it? Also how would this work? It will just send emails out in batches of 100, how often? Also could you please tell me where I can locate this file?

crazzzydave Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have exactly the same problem with my server/emails at the moment. If I want to send an email to all our members (say giving details of a promotion/competition) can I change the forum settings so that any email sent is limited to sending 50 per hour? I have 3 thousand members so at the moment, no matter what settings I put in place on the server, the forum software seems to over ride that which crashes the server (which is a shared server) and puts me in breach of the hosting companies terms and conditions! Not good! Any help much appreciated. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Peterson Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is now defined in init.php, the default is 50. 'BULK_MAILS_PER_CYCLE' => 50, however I do not see an option to define the cycle. If anyone knows where that is, it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have many user that follow a forum or a specific topic that generate 100+ notification to send... consider there is another post and generate same notification load, your hosting plan limit it for guarantee the server mail stay healthy and the IP is not inserted into a blacklist.

bfarber Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 You can restrict the number of emails sent per-cycle as noted above, but not how many are sent in a given time period. The task that sends emails can run as frequently as once per minute and process multiple "cycles" each minute. The moral of the story is, if you have 3000 members and your host limits you to 50 emails per hour, you should invest in an alternate method of sending emails.

DSystem Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Definitely the best solution is to use SendMail Advanced. https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9000-sendmail-advanced/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But through php can also be limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pequeno Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 In my case I have a doubt. My server on Amazon SES allows 200 mails / second, but many times I get error 451 Timeout waiting for data from client. If they are supposed to be sent in packages of 50, On 6/23/2018 at 9:03 PM, Brian Peterson said: in init.php, the default is 50. then how can this error occur? Does anyone have any explanation?
