    5000 / 1500 = 3.3 so you need 3x more time +

    You will need to up the time limit in the file admin/newsletters.php about line 359 to 4 x 600 = 2400

    I know man, another dumb question but sometimes my hand needs to be held so I apologize in advance, haha.

    I did another newsletter and looks like each graphical check mark is an email. I actually, yes, actually counted them and looks like I got halfway through before the email gave up and stopped.

    So do you think x 6 instead of x 3 would be sufficient or is there some other else configuration I should look into changing. FYI, these are really nothing more than txt newsletters with HTML links to twitter and fb. TIA.

    Naturally, I recommend that if you've not used such tools before that you should NOT start using them now merely for this. USE AT OWN RISK.
    Thanks. I use WinSCP and Putty and phpMyadmin for various stuff to backup datafiles. Thank you.
