Problems with group mail intervals

[orbitdvd]

I've got a list of about 3000 emails that I send out weekly to my customers. After much trial and error and communications with my server, I need to stagger my emails to 500 every hour. Fair enough, so I set my connection to 1, group mail to 500, interval to 1 hour 5 sec. It starts up but then pauses. A window pops up saying "caution" and that the server has shut down one or more connections. After a five second pause, it starts back up again, but I think that it is resetting to 0 every time that it restarts, resulting in more than 500 emails being sent during the hour.

I looked under preferences and there doesn't seem to be a way to bypass this. Suggestions?

thanks!

When that happens, what error do you get? What version of MaxBulk are you using? on which OS?

Version 5.6.3

Windows Vista

It's not really an error message, just a window pops up saying "caution." It pauses for 5 seconds, then starts again.

That window is usually displayed when the server has dropped the connection. MaxBulk simply wait a given amount of time (you can change btw) and retry to connect to continue with the delivery.
