Mails sending from forum

Hi,

I installed the plugin and I really like it. I use it on multiple websites but one is having some problems. I hope someone knows the answers of the following problems/questions.

  • Our hosting has a limit of sending mails and some users are not getting the subscription mails how does the plugin send the mail, is it via a cronjob or just all at once (I hope not, but if that’s the case that could explain why not everybody is getting the mails).
  • And if the plugin uses some kind of cronjob, how does it work? Can I fill in the number of mails send per hour?

And maybe someone knows if it is possible to send the subscription mails once a week instead of once there is a reaction or new topic, because my client prefers it once a week.

Thanks for the answers,

Mark

Hey Mark,

at the moment Asgaros Forum is sending all the emails while posting through the wp_mail function, but it is already on our list to improve that:

If you are sending a lot of emails I would suggest you a mail solution like Sendinblue, Mailgun, SendGrid.

@qualmy91 thank you for your reply. I’m looking forward to the update. Any Idea when this update will come?

Right now we have about 300 users and I think 90% has the subscription to “all messages” checked. Is that what you mean with a lot? I think we will get to our hosting limit quickly if we won’t use an external mail sending system, right?

Thanks,

Mark

@djmiquel

It mostly depends on the limitations of the webserver. How many emails can you send per minute/hour/day. One of the cheapest solution for sending emails is SES from amazon web services. There you pay only 0.10 USD per 1,000 emails.

I’ve also found the following two plugins that allow you to queue your emails and set limits for emails per minute/hour:

SMTP Mailing Queue

GD Mail Queue
