When Mailer Job size is set to a non-zero value, and the mailing size is larger than this value, the mailing is split into multiple jobs.

Each of these jobs is subject to the Mailer Batch Limit, but this can lead to odd behaviours. At the limit, if Mailer Job Size = 1, there is a job per email and all the emails will be sent out as if there is no Mailer Batch Limit.

The behaviour of these settings is difficult to understand.

What is the recommended way to throttle then?

I have a server mail limit of 500 messages per hour. I have a cron that runs every 15 minutes.  I have about 2,300 on my mailing list.

Should I set Mailer Batch Limit to 120? Or should I try to space them out with the Mailer Throttle Time?  I have read in separate places throughout that one or the other isn't working as it should.

Any insight would be helpful, I need to get this first message out ASAP.

Thanks,
