Email sending speed
August 24, 2010, 02:49:29 pm
We're currently using CiviMail and CiviSMTP to send large mailers, but the take a long time to actually be sent.

Sending to a list of 13,000 emails takes at least 90 minutes. This is unacceptable to for our client and needs to be improved about 10x.

Any ideas/suggestions?

1) Slicehost.com, 768MB slice.
2) Mailer Spool Period: 180   (hmm didn't notice this before... Is it safe to set this very small like 1 or 5?)
Mailer Batch Limit: 0
Mailer Spool Limit: 0
3) Every minute (Drupal & Civi both)

dont think the mailer spool period is used (and is being obsoleted i think)

not sure why it should take that long. you can run a test and see how fast the system can run by writing the files to disk

define( 'CIVICRM_MAIL_LOG', 1 );

(in the ConfigAndLog/mail directory under your files directory)
