Is there a way to force Ghost to slow down the sending of published posts? A way to break a mailing list into it’s individual addresses, iterate through that list, sending to a single member every 40 seconds?
Why the question…
Ghost development team does not seem interested in providing service for anything other than Mailgun. An example of their justifications can be found https://forum.ghost.org/t/mailgun-alternatives/33201/3
On the other hand, Mailgun is being difficult to work with.
Around six months ago, we signed up with Mailgun. When we took our new site live and tried to publish a new post, Mailgun blocked the publication.
We contacted Mailgun and they said they do not have enough history on us to allow publication. They say, “Give us some history and we will re-evaluate. Until then, you are limited to a 100 email per hour and 10 emails per batch.”
They want realistic history but block us from creating a realistic history and do not seem to be interested in helping resolve the situation.
We have 1500+ contact in our list from our previous platform and we need a way to dribble that out of Ghost to satisfy Mailgun’s unreasonable stance and unhelpful support. If there is a way to send a single email every 40 second, we could satisfy all the requirements they have thrown at us to this point.
