Forward Module
Mindy Block - May 5, 2009 - 21:10
I'm using the Forward module to send content to my mailing list which I keep on my local hard drive. But the limit is "50." Can I change this limit in the program somehow. Thanks, Mindy

Why?
Why would you wanna do that?
If you are trying to send bulk mail I don't think Forward module is fit for that.
To answer your question:
There is a flood control limit which you can set in admin/settings/forward
That is how many emails a user can send in one hour.
bulk mail yes....
I am using forward to bulk mail out. I have found it great, but can only set the flood control to 50 at the max. Maybe I can change a parameter setting but don't know where in the code. Then again, if you have a better suggestion for bulk mailing, let me know. I am just very fond of "Forward" - thanks, mindy
Suggestion
We use our own custom php and python script because we send too many emails for any drupal module to handle.
Try this thread:

Hope it helped.
checked on it.... not all users are signed on...
Not all my contacts that I want to mail to are signed on as a registered user.
I looked at MAILOUT and SIMPLENEWS but would prefer to see if the FORWARD module would work.
Almost tempted to modify code myself, but thought better of it. Waiting to here more info...
Thanks for all the feedback. - Mindy
Try this...
Find this in the forward.module:
$form['forward_options']['forward_flood_control']In the array add the desired maximum (e.g. "500" => 500)
In the settings page select this option.
Remember: you server might have a maximum allowed emails sent setting which might be lower than the number of emails you are going to send out.
Do it at your own discretion. I haven't tested anything.
a workable solution
For now, the safe bet for me will be to forward myself one copy then forward it to my broadcast list. Then I can change the title to me more eye catching and personal. Thanks for all the good input. Maybe forward can be updated with these suggestions at a later date.
not so fast....
My mail server is Optimum which puts a 50 limit on sending out emails as well. BTW I use Siteground for Drupal and there is a 400 per hour limit, which is much better. I will try your suggestion.
Worked Thanks!
I set it to 250.
Really not the intended use
Really not the intended use of Forward. I think you'd be much better off creating a mailing list or group on your mail server and then just email to that one email list.
