I'll tell y= ou one way I've done this before:
I wrote a s= cript that sends an email to ONE subscriber then marks that address "s= ent" so it never gets sent again.
Then I put = a META-REFRESH tag into the page, set it for one second, and request that p= age in my browser.
Then I leav= e the browser open and observe the script's progress until all messages hav= e been sent.
This is a q= uick and easy way to throttle WebDNA when you can just leave a browser tab = open while it's working.
