Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
My web host limits the amount of mail I can send in an hour (200). Is the Simplenews module equipped to deal with this limitation? I understand that cronjob handles all unsent mail in the "maximum send time" setting, but I'm not sure if this setting/feature addresses this limitation. (Incidentally, I set my site to run cron every hour.)
Thanks in advance! :)

So I understand from the discussion that the module can handle such a limitation? e.g., 200 for the first send, and then for every hour, because of the cronjob, it again sends another 200 and so on?

DriesK CreditAttribution: DriesK commentedWell... not yet. However, implementing this would help to solve the problems discussed in this issue (that's what I meant by the reference above).
For now, simplenews just sends mails until a cron run ends, but it is possible that I will implement your request in the future. Sorry for any confusion.
