The Mass Email feature allows you to send a broadcast email to contacts
in the Address Book. This feature is configured under Administration
| Address Book | Mass Email.
System-wide configuration options that apply to all mass mailings from
all Address Books can be found under Administration | System | Email.
The following 2 options are available:
Batch size – Defaults
to 100. Select the batch size of emails to be sent at once (between
10 and 1000).
Length of Delay in
seconds – Select 1-10 seconds. This delay is in addition the
breaks configured above for each mass emailing. This delay will
occur between batches, and is useful in giving the email server a rest
between batches. This delay will NOT stop the
process itself on the FootPrints server, it will only pause the
emails actually being sent to the email server. To stop the process
at intervals (to give the server a rest, and to allow
other FootPrints processes like escalation to run), configure breaks
on the Mass Email Administration screen as described above.
