Email Throttling
#1

My host has a nasty email throttling rule that says all emails must be throttled regardless of how big the mailing list is. I've searched through the forum and not seen any real solution. My first idea would be to use sleep() while looping through the email addresses. I am operating on very little sleep here. Am I overlooking a better solution?

I agree with pistolPete. Additionally its good practice as some email providers (like yahoo) will classify you as spam if they receive x emails from you within x time.

I like the cron idea too because it sort of sends the job to the bckground and makes your application more responsive. However, I have used this swiftmailer plugin to my satisfaction in the past.

Most hosts have a limited amout of email you can send, the best way is to create a batch and send like under 500 an hour the have the cron job wait like a half hour then send the next batch.

Your application should set this limit under your control.
