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.

Sincerely,<=/p>
