Hello = team-
OK, this aging brain needs some help –been too = long since I’ve coded in WebDNA ;(
We’re = having a going out of business sale for one of our stores and want to = email our customers with our final special. These customers are all = opt-in from our mailing list.
As a test, = last week I sent 4000 emails and only got about 15 orders out of 4000 = potential which is abysmal. I suspect most were caught up in spam = filters because I didn’t throttle the rate at which they = went out.
So I’m thinking I should be sending out about = 100 emails every hour.
So my = sendmail could be something like:
[math = show=3Df]count=3D0[/math]
[search = db=3D = orders.db&neemaildata=3D[blank]&emailsumm=3DT]
[founditems]
[sendmail = to[email]&blah]
= &= nbsp; [math show=3Df]count =3D count + = 1[/math]
&= nbsp; [showif [count] =3D100]math = show=3Df]count=3D0[/math][!]reset counter to 0[/!]
&= nbsp; Some code that = waits for an hour ß need help with this = snippet
[/showif]
[/founditems]
[/search]

Thanks guys.
