Running cron manually every ~1000 messages
May 25, 2011, 08:59:49 pm
I'm using CiviCRM 3.3.5 with Drupal 6.19 and have sent a few mailings of less than 1000 messages, and it went really quickly and apparently without any duplication, but when I sent my biggest list today (5,200) it seems to stall after about 1000 messages.  I run the command to process the queue manually (http://contact.nupge.ca/index.php?q=civicrm/mailing/queue&reset=1) and it does another 1000.  Would multithreading be more efficient (and send more in a single cron run)?

Hi!

it could be that you browser is simply timing out.  In general, we recommend that you use a cron for sending emails.  also utilizing multi-threading could help speed things up as well.
