Alright guys,

I send out a newsletter every fortnight to over 16,000 users on my forums.

The problem with this is it creates too much loads on the server, causing the forums to lock-up.

I know I could lessen the load by choosing to email to less than 500 people each time, however this would take too long for me to do.

Does anyone know of a hack that will automatically send an email out to 100 users a time and monitor the server's load, only sending out another batch when the loads drops below a certain point?

Cheers!

On your email manager, adjust the 'Email to send at once:' value to something lower than it currently is.

Thanks but then I have to sit there and send out the emails manually.

I would like to know if there is an automated script that will only send out a batch of emails once the server load is below a specified level. So I click once and leave it to send out emails in batches.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
