How long does it take to send email to 1500++ users?
My script take about 20 mins to send the email including processing of the document(generating report #, etc) before sending.
Subject: Sending email to 1500++ using lotusscript
We have a personalized weekly newsletter, wich is sent to about 400 adresses.Creating the (400) documents ans putting them in the mail qeue takes about 40 seconds (=10 mails per second)
We’re sending out mail directly to the mailservers of the subscribers (thus not via a SMTP-server of out ISP) wich makes the sending time a bit unpredictable.
In general, 95% of the mails is sent in the first 15 minutes.
So 20 minutes for 1500 mails (=1,25 mails/second) looks a bit slow for me, but I don’t know how complicated the processing of your mails is …
In my case, the creating process is rather simple, and the mails are between 5KB en 20KB big.
