Cron question

  • Some subscribers are receiving duplicate emails, so I set up a cron job as that seems to be the recommended fix. I have some questions about it.
    – I used the frequency recommended in the faq – run every 5 minutes
    – In my mailpoet settings I’m using the recommended frequency of sending emails at 70/hour.
    – Do these need to match? Is it ok to use the cron frequency of every 5 minutes and the send frequency of 70 per hour?

    Another issue that I believe is unrelated is that I can no longer save any options. Any time I click update on my settings I get this error: “Security failure during request” How can I fix this?

    Thanks

    I was able to save my settings now, I think the “Security failure during request” error is only intermittent.

    Can someone help me with the cron frequency question (quoted below)?

    – I used the frequency recommended in the faq – run every 5 minutes
    – In my mailpoet settings I’m using the recommended frequency of sending emails at 70/hour.
    – Do these need to match? Is it ok to use the cron frequency of every 5 minutes and the send frequency of 70 per hour?

    I published a new post 4 hours ago and it hasn’t sent out.

    I had to push the email to send manually. My newsletters are not sending now that I’ve added the cron job. It just sits in the queue with the message “The last batch of emails should start sending automatically in the next few minutes.” but never sends.

    You don’t need to match the frequencies, but that would be better. Change your sending frequency to 150 emails each 5 minutes, if your host allow.
