Clarification on automatic send process number

aijosh

I'm looking at using Elastic Email to send my emails out.

They said they have no limit to the numbers of emails that can be sent (if none of us misunderstood ourselves)

The documentation here implies I can set an unlimited number of emails for the send process
https://docs.acymailing.com/v/old/main-pages/configuration/configuration-tabs/configure-your-send-process/external-smtp-service#i-have-sending-limitations-with-my-hosting-company-ie-400-e-mails-per-hour-will-i-be-able-to-send-more-e-mails-using-these-services

BUT
The document here says I need to create 4 cron tasks and set 400emails per cron bla bla
https://docs.acymailing.com/v/old/developers/multiple-queue-system

Am I to create multiple crons OR I just need to set a high number in the automatic send process?

Hi,

You refer to the multiple queue system that is available in v5. This is a feature that not has been added to v6 yet.

You can throttle your speed with the number of mails per batch (please note that your server will have a maximum execution time per script) and the frequency of your cron trigger.

If you need further assistance, please let us know how many mails you need to send within a given time frame.

I'll prefer to send as much as is within the limits of sending.

Can't give a specific figure as the list of users is growing and the number would increase over time.

I prefer all the emails to be send within 15mins if possible. They are all meant to get their emails between 8:00am and 8:15am.

Because of the nature of the website (its a daily news update site), the newsletter have to be created the same morning say between 6am and 8am
