Email Limit issue

Post by krkishore »

First of all thank you for a great product.
And I do apologise if this has been asked and answered over and over.
Here is my problem:
I am a webmaster for a club with 400 members.

Newsletters has to be sent to them everymonth = 400 (pdf attachment)
Calendar has to be sent to them every month = 400 (pdf attachment)
Weekly twice email updates = 800 *4 = 3200 (just html mails)
Monthly once Site updates = 400

I had the code setup. The documentation was very helpful. The emails were not reaching the users. So I called up my host and asked the limit and to my shock they said its only 50 per half hour.

Can you please suggest a way to use Swiftmailer to do my work? I can use cron and am planning on making the above all as cron jobs.

Thank you All,
Kishore

You hit the nail on the head ;) Use cron. Just flag recipients in a database as "unsent" and then pull out batches of 50 unset, send them and mark them as sent.

There is a Throttler plugin but it's not intended to be used as a replacement for cron.
