Description
My ISP/Host has a limit on the number of emails that can be sent in a time period. I've checked other ISPs and they have similar rules.
X number of emails per Y time period. (50 / hour)
Some have a double rule, such as:
5 emails/10 seconds and not more than 100 / hour.
If you exceed the limits the email ends up in the bit bucket.
We need a way to adjust the speed and timing of the mailing of all emails out of the system. (i.e. to avoid multiple forums having emails colliding for output in the same time frame)
This is important for people subscribed to forum postings.
If we can't gate the emails so they go out, then we need a way to permanently/selectively (by forum) turn on/off the emails subscriptions. We can't rely on the users to turn it off by themselves because they may think they NEED to have it ON as it's presented as an option on the bottom of every forum post page.
Our Site cannot send any emails from the forums NOW because we have too many postings going out and it's exceeding the limits of our ISPs... So this is a HIGH priority for us!
