Is it safe to use bulk email sending in Mautic instead of queue sending when using AWS SES?

Hi everyone,

I’m using Mautic with AWS SES for email delivery and wanted to ask about best practices.

Is it OK to use bulk email sending in Mautic instead of the queue-based sending method?

From what I understand, queue sending works through cron jobs and sends emails in batches, while bulk sending triggers immediate delivery.

Since AWS SES has sending limits and throttling rules, I’m unsure if bulk sending could cause issues like:

  • hitting SES rate limits

  • email delays or failures

  • server performance problems

  • deliverability issues

Would bulk sending be acceptable for small campaigns, or is queue sending always recommended when using AWS SES in production?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I always use Mautic with the queued method to send emails, regardless of the configured sending service.

Hi,

It depends on the size of your list. I think it’s okay to send couple hundred emails just by pushing the Send butotn. Most VPSs won’t give you the speed to send with 14 emails / sec using the regular sending method.

For larger emails I would def. use the email queue, as it’s important to stay in control.
