Newsletter Extras Scheduler Notes
After Statistics, the Scheduler is one of the most important piece of Newsletter plugin. Scheduler allows you to send a large number of emails by sending small chunks at a specified interval to avoid limits imposed by hosting providers. Scheduler is part of Newsletter Extras package (for members).
First of all, to configure the scheduler, you have to know the limits imposed by your provider. Open a ticket or search between the FAQs to discover them.
HostGator has 500 emails per hour limit, DreamHost 200. These are very low limits, especially if your blog uses other notification plugins such as Comment Notifier or you have configured WordPress to send an email for each comment that is left for a post.
Even worse is if your account is used to run more than one blog.

I'm Stefano Lissa. 10 years ago I was building web sites for my pleasure. Blogs didn't exist, web content systems were ugly, hosting really expensive. And my student pocket was empty.
Is it possible to add a scheduled time to send out the newsletter. For example, I compose the newsletter on Monday for a Tuesday 11:00am delivery.
Thanks
Actually not, anotgher thing to put “on the list”.

[thank you for your corrections... I'll study them!!!]
This is a great plugin! I’ve been fighting with mailpress for 8 months to get the f’ing batch send to work.
I’ve gone through this page and edited some wording as you have requested, I hope it helps.
I just need to figure out how to trigger activity on my site now every hour so the wp_cron cycles.
Thanks Stefano!
I’m simulating a delivery of 1480 emails, in batches of 20 each 10 minutes. I’m using DreamHost. But it looks like the scheduler isn’t working at all. It sent the first batch, but unless I click “restart batch” it wont send the next batch.
Another strange thing is that the Batch Info informs a strange time for the next batch (see image attached). My sistem time is correct, but the time in the Batch info is not. And besides that the counter is negative [next run on 25/02/2010 06:22 (-46 minutes left)]
I have the “Maintenance Mode” plugin active in manteinance mode (the site isn’t published yet).
I need to send a real one tomorrow. I what are my options?
