My web host limits the amount of mail I can send in an hour (200). Is the Simplenews module equipped to deal with this limitation? I understand that cronjob handles all unsent mail in the "maximum send time" setting, but I'm not sure if this setting/feature addresses this limitation. (Incidentally, I set my site to run cron every hour.)

Thanks in advance! :)

It might be helpful to add a setting that would allow for batch processing-- i.e. send 200 (or 400 or 1000...) emails on every cron run. I think that this is available in massmailer.module.

See here (the 'In general' section).

Hi Dries,

So I understand from the discussion that the module can handle such a limitation? e.g., 200 for the first send, and then for every hour, because of the cronjob, it again sends another 200 and so on?

Well... not yet. However, implementing this would help to solve the problems discussed in this issue (that's what I meant by the reference above).

For now, simplenews just sends mails until a cron run ends, but it is possible that I will implement your request in the future. Sorry for any confusion.
