Adding the ability to throttle number of emails sent an hour

[Anonymous]

Maybe this is on the radar, but what if there was an easy way to limit/throttle the number of email sent per hour? Something in the admin section that could be managed. Our previous email provider allowed us to do this and set a limit and was very helpful, particularly when I have multiple marketing people sending out emails.

I have this issue everyday.  Instead of allowing my emails to be sent all at once, I end up having to split the lists up using "random sample" and scheduling the sends 2x a day, 3 days a weeks.  This helps me to ensure the number of fresh leads being delivered to our sales team is never more than they can respond to.

I agree with Patty and fully endorse her suggestion.

Some email servers (within one domain, say, company.com) are configured to raise the spam score when they detect is a large volume of incoming messages from the same sender.

The random sample allows to split into smaller blocks, mitigating that risk.
