Doh. I've been changing these variables in the plugin files. I just realized that I can change them in the config file. I'm assuming that if I do that, it will override the plugin values and I won't have to update them every time I upgrade (unless I have Dada create a new config file)? I see they have a comma after each line in the config file but a semi-colon in the plugin file. I've been changing the number of mailouts at once and the max size of messages. Would I change it like this:Bridge => { Plugin_Name ...Continue Reading

Room_For_One_More_Check is on/off (1/0), MAILOUT_AT_ONCE_LIMIT is your "how many should be checked" setting. Sorry for that confusion, ...Continue Reading

I upped the mailout_at_once variable to test that theory (it didn't help but did maxout the emails per hour the host allows), but I didn't change Room_For_One_More_Check.

I hoped that upgrading to 6.2 and fixing all of the cron jobs would fix the problem, but it seems to be the same issue as before. The cron job is firing just fine, but a message gets stuck in the mailer and until it is manually cleared it blocks up other mailings and everything is stuck in a bottleneck.
