Has anyone else run into a problem where the cron job only sends 2 emails per session? I have 1,215 subscribers. I setup the cron to run every 10 minutes, and tell RSMail! to send 100 messages per hour. Every 10 minutes it sends 2 messages. I finally had to run the cron once a minute to get my newsletter out - 2 at a time every minute.

Joomla! config set to use PHP Mail, but I think RSMail uses sendmail by default (but I'm not sure).

Running Joomla! 2.5.6 w/ latest version of RSMail!
PHP: 5.2.17
MySQL: 5.0.92-50

For anyone else having this problem (or similar): Settings > Cron > Check Interval - must be set to match the timing of your cron job. This variable divides the hour and sends X emails per trigger (not per hour). I had mine set to 1, and Number of Emails set to 100. So each trigger it was sending 2 emails to keep up with 100 emails per hour triggered once a minute (greater than 1 but less than 2 - it rounded up to 2 and sent that many per trigger).

Hi kevin, did the advice resolved your issue yet?

This has not resolved my issue.
I have setup the RSMail cron jobs for run every minute on with my hosting provider, which matches my RSMail settings.
I use cron jobs for my backups and they work great, so I know I am setting up the cron jobs properly and that they work.

When I run the RSMail cron manually, it seems to work.
I did notice that when I ran them manually the, Virtuemart plugin was failing, but even after disabling the plugin, my schedule messages do not seem to fire.

Any suggestions?

Hi All:

After discussion with support, I have set my CRON session parameters as follows:

Number of e-mails: 200 (i.e., I want to send out 200 e-mails per CRON job)
Period of time: hour (i.e., I want to send them out over an hour)
Check interval: 60

I trigger the CRON job every 2 hours (to avoid problems with exceeding my ISP's maximum hourly limit). This seems to work fine.
