    Hi there,

    My web host limits batch email sending by imposing a hourly limit of about 700 emails per hour.

    I can see no way to directly limit ALO EasyMail to a hourly limit.

    I tried setting the Batch sending limits to 5000ms between batches and 1 email per batch, but unfortunately the plugin does not allow less that 10 emails per batch.

    Is there a way to modify the plugin code so that it will allow 1 email per batch (which seems the easiest way of observing the hourly limit).

    In EasyMail settings you can setup 3 parameters:

    Maximum number of emails that can be sent in a 24-hr period: ... (300 - 10000)
Maximum number of emails that can be sent per batch: ... (10 - 300)
Interval between emails in a single batch, in milliseconds: ...

    In your case, you have only a limit (750 emails per hour): your daily limit is 18.000 (750 emails x 24 hours), but the max limit is 10.000 so you have to enter 10000.
    In the 2nd parameter you have to fill the emails per batch (every 10 minutes): so 100 could be a good limit.
    Leave 0 in the 3rd.
    So:

    Maximum number of emails that can be sent in a 24-hr period: 10000 (300 - 10000)
Maximum number of emails that can be sent per batch: 100 (10 - 300)
Interval between emails in a single batch, in milliseconds: 0

    To set up a limit over 10000:

    To understand how the WP cron works:

    define( “ALO_EM_DAYRATE”, 17500 );
