I am fairly new to the Simplenews module and am trying to get up to speed while taking over a website that uses this for sending newsletters.

Does Simplenews support sending multiple different newsletters at the same time. It seems like people often have issues with cron jobs overlapping and sending multiple copies of the newsletter to the same email address. What about trying to send different newsletters at the same time?

I noticed that it has been recommended that you only send one newsletter at a time http://drupal.org/node/125103#comment-233662

A TODO is still present in the code mentioning that it might choke if you send multiple newsletters through cron. Is there a feature request or open issue related to this?

Thanks,
Matt

Sending issues at the same time: NO. (Simplenews 6.x does)
This choking may be an issue for old servers. In the code a short idle time between emails is created. I did investigate other mass mailing systems and found no trace of something like this. In Simplenews 6.x I decided to remove this delay and so far no problems have been reported.
