We’ve made an important internal change in this version of our autoresponder software. While there are no visible changes, the way newsletters are scheduled is changed. This should allow scheduling a newsletter to very large mailing lists even on slow hosts. Until now the software scheduled all these emails in the DB, but when some people had lists of 100,000 subscribers this meant 100,000 DB queries. On slow shared hosts this often caused problems.
Now the new version runs one query for the newsletter regardless of your list size. While managing such large lists on shared hosts is asking for trouble, I wanted to make sure our software handles it.
If you have purchased less than an year ago you can contact me to get the upgrade for free. Otherwise upgrades are 50% of the regular price as usual.
Question in regards to delivery, is it possible to limit the amount of emails sent per hour? Slower hosts will definitely choke if you try to send 100,000 emails continuously.
Thanks!

Yes, Frank, in the main settings page you can limit “mails per run” which means how many mails to be sent each time when the cron job runs.
