Hey @sourdoughbread We are hosting on our side and i have the cronjobs set to run every minute or two. I believe its a problem with the way its written that it sends it over SMTP and not the API. I believe it’s due to be released soon, but i could patch things for now… but really dont want too. Dont know enough about the code base and how to do these patches they talk about. > [@Early access to Amazon SES API Support (14X Faster Sending)](https://forum.mautic.org/t/early-access-to-amazon-ses-api-support-14x-faster-sending/12177): > > Happy new year (and new decade) everyone! As we understand the release of Mautic 2.16.0 is still a few weeks out, but we wanted to call everybody’s attention to an important feature that we strongly think should make it into the next release. Amazon SES API Support Currently, the implementation of Amazon SES email gateway in Mautic uses the SMTP protocol to send emails resulting in a send rate of around 60 mails/min (1 email per SMTP connection/sec) at best. As many developers including @escope… It looks like it will only be added in 3.1 > > > @Maruan @heroic Matuic 2.16.1 is bug fix release, then probably in Mautic 3.1 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.mautic.org/t/recommendation-on-service-to-send-email/14295)._
