SMTP limit settings

My mail server has a very low hourly SMTP limit. If i go over this limit my account gets locked. How can I set The Bat to where it only sends a handfull of messages per hour?

you can use the "delayed sending " feature OPTIONS / Send Timiing when composing a message

BUT ... this feature has had a nasty habit of ceasing to work for some people.

Have you considered something like a Gmail account? Then you are not subject to your ISPs SMTP limits.
Just a thought

yea, ive thought about it but its not as convenient.

So there is no way to limit its smtp relays? EX. An account has a maximum allowable relays of 150, is it possible to tell the bat to only mail at 100 an hour? Or one message every 30 seconds.

Or is it possible to:

The Bat reads the Email, waits 30 seconds, THEN applys the filters. Once the filters are all met and actions completed it moves on to the next message repeating the process.

No, to both of your questions.

From your last question I gather that it isn't the amount of mail that you want to send, but that you're sending per batch. You might try whether you can make your batches smaller by keeping TB continuously online and let it check your mail every five minutes. That way you won't have large amounts of automatic messages that have to be sent all at once.

A gmail (or other) account would be easier. Doesn't your ISP offer a business-type account with more access to the smtp server? 100-150 messages an hour looks sufficient for non business purposes.

There would be no additional macros someone could write up to achieve this outcome?

No, TB's macros alter the content of the message, not the time the message will be sent.
Of course there still is the option that Rick suggested: delayed sending.
Create a cookie file with macros like this:
%POSTPONE="15m"
%POSTPONE="1h 15m"
And add one of those lines at random via the %cookie="path/file"
I've never tried it and just like Rick said, sometimes delayed sending simply stops for no apparent reason.

First of all, I truly apologize for bumping this old thread.
However, i am still looking for a solution to set a send delay between each mail.

I usually send around 200-300 mails per day, and would like to set 5s - 10s between each mail,
so that my hosting wont flag me as a spammer and i just thought i will inbox better with my domain.

Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks again
