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! :)

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?

DriesK CreditAttribution: DriesK commentedWell... 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.
