Sending newsletter stops before completion

Hi All - we have a newsletter subscriber list of about 2,500 members. Recently I had to put the timeout value on firefox to a large number for the sending of the newsletter to complete successfully. We are now attempting to send a large newsletter and the browser page comes back with a status 'Done' after 302 seconds, ie the job does not complete. However some of the emails go OK.

It looks to me like a classic time out problem - does anyone know which PHP script I have to change (sorry i'm no php guru).

We are using zen-cart V1.2.3

Thanks

Re: Sending newsletter stops before completion

admin/newsletters.php line 389 (in v1.2.3) contains:```php
zen_set_time_limit(600);

600 seconds is 10 minutes
