Batch send
Introduction
MailPress sends a specific mail for each recipient.
Sending mails to a large number of recipients can be very long and sometimes can fail.
Make sure your hosting package will allow you to handle the numerous mails your want to send.
To activate this add-on, go to Plugins > installed and activate MailPress_batch_send, then click on the settings link.
- Batch send is a MailPress facility to send these mails in small batches.
- Batch send applies if there is more than one recipient.
- Batch send creates a new status for the mail : 'unsent'.
- deactivating/activating MailPress_batch_send will schedule a new batch if wpcron selected in settings.
Reminders :
- wp_cron is NOT a scheduler like cron in unix, wp_cron will execute the scheduled job on time if your blog has some activities at that time, nothing is done in the background !
- you cannot run two batches at the same time.
In MailPress 5.0, add-on settings tab is renamed : Batches
Settings
