what's changed between versions Paul?

/me clicks install

Would this be a good solution for email limits set by a web host? The host I am with currently limits me to 200 emails per hour, and will disable the mail should I go over that. If I set it to 100, and the interval to 1 hour that would get by the limit with room to spare.

Would that be possible with this mod?

Not much really, this basically just completes the porting of my 3.5 mods - which is why it says you can carry on running the 3.5 version if you already have it installed. The only significant change is that you don't need to manually create the cron task when installing it, the product does that (and it runs every 10 mins now, not 15).

Great news. I can send out announcments again

This is brilliant, I spent an hour sending out emails the other day, and then firefox crashed half way through after sending 20 000 emails and then I had to try and find a user that was around that number, so I didnt send duplicates to the first 20 000 again, it was a real pain lol

Thanks.

screenshots...???? :s

[Paul M]

Your kidding, what would I post a screen shot of ?

[grandeur_69]

the screenshots would be exactly the same as 3.5 ... see above.

I've installed this.
It's automatically set to send a certain amount of emails at a certain amount of time? I don't need to do anything to these settings?

If I do, where do I do it?

Thanks! I hope this works for me, My members are always saying they never receive my emails.

Read the notes in the first post.

Thanks Paul, I did, maybe I'm missing it but.......where do *I set it*?

There are two realisitc options for the cron job, you can either set it to run every minute, and set the items to be processed to something small (like 10), or you can do what this modification does by default and set it to run every 10 minutes, and set the items to be processed to something larger (like 100).

Lines above that ;

Obviously for this to work, you must turn on e-mail queuing in the ACP options - set 'Use Mailqueue System' to 'Yes', and 'Number of Emails to Send Per Batch' to a realistic value (based on the cron setting, as below).
