Most customers will use JMailQ to limit the number and frequency of emails sent by the system to keep within the restrictions applied by their hosting company. With this in mind you should first collect a list of these restrictions before configuring the component.


Hosting providers place restrictions on email flow in a number of ways; maximum per minute/hour/day and delivery interval (time between sends). They may also count the number of emails in a couple of ways; per email (independent on how may recipients), or per recipient.


You will need to know how your hosting company applies these limits to your hosting environment in order to properly configure this component.
