What do you suggest for the outgoing email speed setting

Hi,

i just installed phplist 325, this si the first time to use phplist.

I want to know what is the good setting for the outgoing mail speed setting like:

# batch processing disabled:
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE",0);

# Batch_period is not effective when batch processing is disabled:
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",3600);

# Pause between messages (in seconds) to send no more than 360 messages per hour:
define('MAILQUEUE_THROTTLE',10);

My hosting company said my outgoing mail default is 2000 emails per domain per hour.

Thank you for suggestion. thanks

one more thing, i usually have like 50000 newsletter send at a time.

I would suggest the following settings.

This will keep you within your hosts’ limits and with the 1.8 second delay, hopefully not overtax the email server. Also, leaving it at 1990 rather than 2000 gives a little wriggle room.

Thank you for your help.

With that setting, what do you suggest for the cronjob setting?

Do you think for run for every 5 mins will work, like the following?
php /home/domain/public_html/lists/admin/index.php page=processqueue login=xxxxx password=xxxxx >/dev/null 2>&1
