Hello, friends! I have an installation of Mautic 6 on a client, on a very robust dedicated server, but we would like to increase the email sending batches because by default Mautic sends 100 at a time, I would like to increase this capacity to send 1000 at a time. Could anyone provide me with help on how to do this in my Mautic installation with PORTAINER. In a brief research I came to the conclusion that including the excerpt below within the mautic web configuration in the mautic .yaml file but it didn’t work, it continues sending 100 at a time.

“

services:

mautic\_cron:

image: mautic/mautic:v5-apache # ou a imagem correspondente

#… outras configurações

environment:

- DOCKER\_MAUTIC\_ROLE=mautic\_cron

command: \>

sh -c "

```
while true; do

  php /var/www/html/bin/console messenger:consume email --limit=1000 --time-limit=55;

  sleep 60;

```

done

"

“

The above is an example of the configuration I made in an attempt to increase the sending batch but it didn’t work.

Are you using broadcast? Then you would need to define the batch size like this: `mautic:broadcasts:send --batch=1000`

Got it, but where should this line go? In my yaml file?I understand, but where should this line go? Would it be in my .yaml file?
