Dear all,
Sending emails in a large batch, e.g. 10000 emails at a time, may not be possible for a low power computer, so how to setup OpenEMM for scheduling 25 batches of 400emails, with a pause time of, say 5 minutes, between each batch of emails?
Any help are welcomed!
Thanks!

I'm sending out 17k emails a day from a cheap server. You don't have to batch anything, the application queues the emails up and sends them out without overloading the server.
I really don't know all the code involved here though. Honestly I just started it up, kicked out a few thousand emails and everything worked so I didn't look into it any more than that.

Thanks Jim for your information!
By the way, are you using hosted VPS (Virtual Private Server) service?
Or you setup OpenEMM in your own home server, and send out emails through ISP's internet connection?
Thanks!

I gave up with hosting my own servers years ago. It's just not worth when you can get a dedicated machine for under $100 that's on a strong pipe to the Internet with power backups, etc etc.
