Mass Email User Limit

Hi there,

The plugin notes page says this plugin is suitable for sites with fewer than 5000 users, but upon install, says that only 2500 users are acceptable.

I know enough to dig around in the code and change that to a number I can live with, but:

1 – I thought someone would like to be aware of the discrepancy and

2 – I was hoping someone could explain the reasoning, or the formula used to arrive at that number.

Thanks!

    I think the discrepancy is probably my fault :slight_smile: But thanks for bringing it to our attention.

    The number was arrived at by some pretty extensive testing on Edublogs and some of our other sites – basically when you start to ask the server to crank out more than 5k emails, things can get pretty tight / overloaded.

    Having said that though, if you are on a powerful enough box, there’s no reason you couldn’t up the limit (I think) – will have to look at it again and work out how best to describe the capacities / possibilities.

    Thanks again, James
