**I can send no more than 9 emails per minute (using PHP). Also, I cannot exceed 100 emails/hour.**  
  
   
  
**So I need do send 8 emails from 5 in 5 minutes, a total of 96 emails per hour. How can I configure Maultic with this routine correctly?**  
  
  
  
_My “Email settings” are configure like this:_  
  
_How should email be handled? QUEUE_  
  
_Message limit for queue processing: 8_  
  
_Time limit for queue processing: 300_  
  
_Recovery timeout for resending failed messages: 1020_  
  
_Clear timeout for deleted failed messages.: 1920_

Hi! You have any success?

I want to send 7 emails/minute. I cannot exceed 500 emails/hour.

And I don’t know how to setup.
