Hi guys, What would be the average speed of sending emails through Mandrill-SMTP? I’m trying to send 40k emails, but its sending 1/second… so, 11h to send all… ![:(]( ":(") I’m running Mautic on a aws-ec2 micro instance, only with mautic inside. In my Mandrill account my reputation is excellent, and with high send limit per hour. My php memory is also high… What I’m skipping? Is there any limit I can change to speedup my batches? Thank you! ---

Even on Amazon SES; sending speed is low. Need to performance test this application. ---

> [@8685:@MxyzptlkFishStix](#): > > Send your emails to a locally ran Postfix smart host which then sends to Mandrill. Could you please explain how to configure a smart host (eg if one would send via php to queue say every two minutes 500)? Thanks 🙂 ---

Many thanks for the excellent guide! I have no found my vps uses exim on cpanel. Would the instructions be similar or much different? ---
