CiviMail with STMP limitation
September 25, 2008, 10:49:49 am
Hi-

We have STMP limitation of 250 relays a day. I see that CiviMail has the option to automatically schedule emails which is really nice. With a email listing of 1,000 addresses, I could break this up to send out the newsletter across 4 day period. But my question, is there any way to easily break up the 1,000 addresses into 4 groups quickly?

You can do Find Contact, then use bulk action "Add Contacts to Group".

Please consider scheduling the mailing to the 1000 addresses ‘as usual’, but then setting the cronjob to fire once a day and setting Administer CiviCRM → Mailer Settings → Mailer Batch Limit to 250 – this option was created exactly to cater to the cases as above. :)
