I use PHPList for at least a decade. In all these years I have tried to configure PHPList to throttle emails. This never worked. I have tried everything, to send it in batches, to increase message delays, everything. Nothing works. It sends the initial messages or batches and stops working. I have tried to use the terminal script to trigger the sending thru terminal but as expected the script does not work, telling me that I have to be root to run it. But I AM ROOT.
The only way, I suppose, to make it work is to keep the browser window open until it finishes but this is ridiculous because I have 10K emails and I throttle that to send messages over the period of 3 days.
The configuration I have now is this:
define(“MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE”,60);
define(“MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD”,600);
define(‘MAILQUEUE_THROTTLE’,1);
My PHPList version is the latest one. My PHP version is 5.3.29. I use CentOS 6.5. But that is not a question of versions because I am using PHPList since version 1 over older versions of PHP and Linux and it never worked for throttling.
I have followed all guides, help pages and docs I could find.
Is there any way to make throttling work for PHPList?
