I assume you are referring to the “Default Frequency Rule” setting? That is a per-contact value, not for the total system.

Thank you for replying. So does this mean that setting “Default Frequency Rule” will let you limit the amount of emails sent to every single contact in the set time period? If this is so I feel it should be explicitly mentioned with the setting.

Also, at the moment I am warming up my server so I need to gradually increase emails sent everyday. Do I need to set up cron jobs to limit the numbers of emails sent everyday for this or there is another method?

Good point about making things clearer in the UI. I suggest you create an issue in Github directly to make sure it does not get lost! [Sign in to GitHub · GitHub](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/new/choose)

For warming up, there are different approaches that people take. If you cannot control the numbers through smaller segments, or if that’s too much manual work, the `mautic:broadcast:send` cronjob is indeed your friend. Rather than running it frequently you might run it once a day with` --limit=100` (or maybe 10 times but limit=10?)
