"You have reached a limit for sending mail"
You may see this message if you send an email to a total of more than 500 recipients in a single email and or more than 500 emails sent in a day.
When you get this error, you should be able to send emails again within 1 to 24 hours.
It's not a LS issue here …cesoielampo wrote: I am sending from a "third-party" email account to gmail accounts and GMail is complaining. Our email server is definitely ready (and enough paid)…
and thanks for your answer. I am sending from a "third-party" email account to gmail accounts and GMail is complaining. Our email server is definitely ready (and enough paid) so i was asking if it's possible to slow down on LimeSurvey's side since it seems there is not timeout between the batch sending in LimeSurvey.
We first set the number of invitation per batch to 50 (default), then we tried to set 10 but nothing changed.
Is there some setting i can change to slow down the pace of the emails being sent?
Correct me if i'm wrong, in LimeSurvey 3 if i select all the participants and i send invitations it sends the invitations grouped by N (depending on the last setting on the "Email setting page") with no timeout until the end, doesn't it?
Clicking the 'send email invitation' button that is located on the token control toolbar on the right of each token sends the 'maxemails' number of invitations, displaying a list of the addresses to which the email was already delivered and a warning that "There are more emails pending than could be sent in one batch. Continue sending emails by clicking below. There are ### emails still to be sent." and provides a "continue button" to proceed with the next batch. So, the user determines when to send the next batch after each batch gets emailed. It is not necessary to wait with this screen active. The admin could log off and come back at a later time to send the next batch of invites
Not beautifull, but it workholch wrote: And maybe Denis here has a plugin or something for this. Well, here we go, this looks like something:
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/mailing/sendMailAjax
Not sure if it will work with LS 3.x.

The only way with a broken sender (i confirm : it's not a LS issue : you pay a "third-party" email : service must be done.
This was also my knowledge about sending invitations in Limesurvey. It is not an automatic process, but you need to do it manually, so you define the rhythm.
But I saw the assumption that Limesurvey would automatically send the emails in batches of X emails, in a certain intervall, until the emails are all send.
