I just bought and installed the Firetank News Sender module and am a little confused and concerned.

I thought, based on this thread (http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=50438) that I could "throttle down" the volume of email/letters I send out per hour. Unfortunately I cannot find a setting in the module that allows for this. I don't want to send out my 1000 newsletters just to have them all bounced back.

Does anyone know how to change the send rate?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

It's a more advanced setting. By default, it sends 3 emails and then waits 1 second.

Open up mm_mail.pl

Find this:

# Pause, as not to hurt the server
			if ($i % 3 == 0) {
				sleep(1);
			}

You can then change the number 3 to something different (lower would make it slower). Or you could change the 1 in the sleep command to be higher, so if you change it to a 5, it will wait 5 seconds before sending 3 more emails.

I hope that helps.

Thanks! I got the same info this morning from Firetank. That is exactly what I needed to know.
