Email Throttling

[sparrish]

Good to hear that there is some interest! I had backburner-ed the project for a couple months as I had some sites that needed to launch right away, but perhaps this weekend I could get that set up. Some of my clients would be very interested in it as well, so I guess now is as good of a time as any to get it going. Would any of you be interested in giving it a test run with a mailing list if I get it ready by, say, sometime next week? If so, please feel free to PM me so that I can get you some code.

Okay, a quick status update. This is about 65% finished. The admin module is built, and newsletters are being sent to queue. Just have to work out a few bugs in the actual sending process and set up a few configs and it will be ready to go. More info as it is available...

I'm hoping that I can have this ready to go this weekend. I've been working pretty feverishly on the multiple-vendor shipping contribution that I desperately need (and it seems like many others as well), in between getting the newsletter batch processing set up and debugging the 1.3.7 version of the Newsletters-Only Subscriptions contribution. In between the projects that pay the bills, of course. But I think it is safe to say that this WILL be a reality in the next few days. I'll be sure to keep you all posted. I should also mention that I haven't needed to touch a single core file to make this work so far, and shouldn't have to to finish it up either.

Anything new on this subject. This seems to have been a promising solution to ongoing problems with sending large numbers of emails.

Why not just get a real email manager for large mailing?

This would allow more flexibilty in what is being emailed as well as how it is being emailed ...

yeah it is a great thought, if having and external program for email throttling, but at the same time it just means one more back end for me to train my customers in. I I new on ant programs that we simple to integrate and that I could just add the back end to the zen cart admin I would do it, in a flash

oh and sparish, nudge!
