phpList Suggested Settings
- Locate the config.php file. If installed with defaults from Marketplace the full path will be /home#/username/public_html/list/config/config.php.
- Please make a backup at this point.
- Locate the Miscellaneous Section.
- Below this section find the following:
These are the default settings.Code:# define the amount of emails you want to send per period. If 0, batch processing
# is disabled
# HostMonster suggest a default of 150 per hour.
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE",0);
# define the length of one batch processing period, in seconds (3600 is an hour)
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",3600);
Here is the suggested default code.
The above settings tell phplist to send 150 emails per hour.Code:# define the amount of emails you want to send per period. If 0, batch processing
# is disabled
# HostMonster suggests a default of 150 per hour.
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE",150);
# define the length of one batch processing period, in seconds (3600 is an hour)
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",3600);
The last edit to make is under the Experimental Section.
Change the MAILQUE_AUTOTHROTTLE to 1.Code:# Mailqueue autothrottle. This will try to automatically change the delay
# between messages to make sure that the MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE (above) is spread evently over
# MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD, instead of firing the Batch in the first few minutes of the period
# and then waiting for the next period. This only works with mailqueue_throttle off
# it still needs tweaking, so send your feedback to mantis.tincan.co.uk if you find
# any issues with it
define('MAILQUEUE_AUTOTHROTTLE',0);
