Topic: email loop delay
I'm using PHP mail and notice that sometimes members are forces to wait (loops) until success page is displayed.
Anyone?

CP-Settings-Emails.
What is "Emails per batch" value and "Delay between batches" value?

Re: email loop delay
My Emails per batch is 100 and Delay between batches is set to 5
Not sure if the long delay was normal or not

Re: email loop delay
This shouldn't be "too long" as you said, only 5 seconds.
Whole idea of batches and delays were to prevent suspending shared hosting account for spam-like sendings.
Many systems detect simultaneous sending of 500 or even 1000s emails during one minute.
So having batch 100 with 600 seconds delay could help and would send 600 emails per hour (some hosting limitations)

Re: email loop delay
I send 500 emails every 30 minutes with no problems. Call your host and see if there is a problem with your mail setting. I had a couple of glitches with my email but it wasn't a problem with vldP. The problem was with my host.
