    Using the "Send Email to Users" option - help!

    I have 6,000 members that I'd like to email. I need help finding out about how to do that, using the VB admin, without having any problems with my host (Godaddy shared hosting).

    Godaddy says I can send a MAXIMUM of 1,000 emails per day and recommends sending only about 100 every couple of hours. So, using the Vbulletin interface, how would I send out 100 every two hours? After 20 hours, I should be able to get through the alloted 1,000. Also, after that how would I send the other 5,000?

    - If I set "Email to send at once" to 100 what exactly does that do? What will happen once it sends out the first 100 and how do I continue to send the remaining 5900 emails?

    Thanks...

    As per your support ticket there is no option in vB to throttle emails like this. Sorry.

        Anyone know where such a plugin exists? How is everyone else sending out mass emails?

        Thanks!

          If one exists it would be over at www.vbulletin.org.
