Re: Re: Mail_Queue problem

Thanks Lorenzo, That helped. However, now it seems that everytime I run the script it sends out exactly half of the mail in the mail_queue rather than the whole thing. Is this by design? Any way to get around this and send out the whole queue at one time? Thanks again. Tyrone "Lorenzo Alberton" <l.alberton@quipo.it> wrote in message news:2004528194221.606347@the-simpsons...

The idea is you send a chunk of mails at each run. Obviously, you need to set a cron job at regular intervals to process the whole queue. For instance, if you have 100 emails and you send 10 email each time, you have to set 10 cron jobs...
