429: Too Many Requests Error

    The log file in WP Mail SMTP is showing errors that are originating from bbpress notify: “429: Too Many Requests. Wait 10 seconds for another 100 attempts.” I am using a third party mailer (non-host provided) for these emails, and my understanding that this issue originates from a hosting limitation, but because I am using a third party mailer, it is not a limitation related to SMTP services, but rather the Cron job that is running to send out email notifications via bbpress notify to the 300 users on my site.

    My question is whether there is a mechanism that people have used, either in bbpress notify, or through another plugin, to throttle the pace of emails being sent to eliminate this problem. This seems like it might be similar to the Bulk Mailer Add-On that bbpress notify has, but it only works with two mailing services that are rather pricy for the less than 5000 messages that I anticipate needing to send on a monthly basis.

    Hi, thanks for reaching out.

    Mailgun has the trial plan which gives you 5000 free mailouts in the first month, and then charges $1.00 per 1000 emails. The bulk mailer add-on does indeed only work with Mailgun and Sendgrid, but you don’t need it unless your cron jobs start getting killed by the host.

    As for throttling, I’m not aware of anything people have been doing to achieve that.

    Cheers,
    Vinny
