Hi,

I don't fully understand the working of the mailspoolperiod and mailer spool limit.
I've the following setup :
Mail spool period :  120
Mail batch limit : 4
mail spool limit : 2

Every 5 minutes there is a cronjob that hits the civimail.cronjob.php

I've 10 test mail-accounts (dummy-group)

I create a test newsletter and send it to the dummy-group.
The 4 first mail-accounts receive that mail.
After 5 minutes the next 4 mail-accounts receive that mail.
So everything is working, but what about that 120 seconds of the spool period en the spool limit of 2.
I thought that 2 mails will be sended and 2 mail will go into the spool table and will be sent after 120 seconds.
Am i thinking wrong or ... ?

Can somebody explain it to me ?

Thanks in advance.

So the mail batch limit and the time delay are the only settings that have any effect? If so that's good, as I didn't have a clue what a mail spool limit might be, nor could i find any useful documentation on it.
