bean-aid · 12-10-2012, 01:04 AM

I'm sending emails on my server and have noticed my own sites loading slow while sending emails. I set the time per email at around 1000/hour... it is set at 3 seconds per email. So 20 emails per minute, 1200/hour.

My question is can that cause the server to be slow? I pay for a dedicated server with all the bells and whistles.

Is the solution to get another server for emailing? What is the best way to send out mass emails and not get black listed and not have your server slow, if in fact, sending emails every 3 seconds will slow a server.

I will say that I have noticed *really* slow loading times while sending this email and am about 80% sure that sending these emails is causing the issue. Any suggestions?
