Mailer Email Throttling

Hi,

I have a group with 130 members belonging to a certain CBSubs Plan. If I want to create a mailer for them, I assume Mailer will send all out of its emails at the same time.

Unfortunately, Hostgator's email requirements state that:

Mailing Lists Rules
1. Any time you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 8 seconds. (Sending 1 every 8 seconds would send 450 emails within 1 hour, keeping you below the 500 outgoing email limit.) If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to an application or script that will. We recommend PHPList, which can be found in your CPanel, under Quickinstall.

IMPORTANT: If you do not throttle and you try sending 500 emails, the server will try sending all 500 in 1 second which is not possible on our shared servers. This will cause a very high load on the server and the entire server will be sluggish, potentially affecting your sites and service, until this sending process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish or experiencing issues. Anyone who causes the server's load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle, you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server.

Is there any way to throttle in the way Hostgator seems to demand, or suggestions for a host without such requirements?

Thanks!

Within CBSubs > Settings > Mailer under "Mailer automation settings" you can adjust the mailer queue processing. How often the queue processes is based off CRON scheduled usage of the mailer automation url (can be every hour, every day, etc.. as needed).
