Email Marketing / SMTP / Sending lots of emails

Idan Avrahami asked on February 19, 2019 14:08

Does anyone use Kentico to send hundreds of thousands of emails? i am trying to get the email marketing module to work via SMTP relay and Amazon SES and get a send rate of 1 email per second. i confirmed with amazon i had 300 emails per second limitation. but Kentico doesn't handle this. Thanks, Idan

Assuming you're using the EMS version, you can add several SMTP providers and select their priority. Kentico will batch process emails every minute. I'd also suggest, if able, to use the external service to run the scheduled tasks.

HI Brenden, i was not aware of the fact i could create multiple Kentico SMTPs for the same Amazon SES SMTP. this is not so clear from the documentation....this is now much faster. Thanks!

This is only available on the EMS version though.

Brenden, When i added logs to event log, it said emails were sent async, but in reality, it doesn't seem to send them async judging on the send rate. Do you know if Kentico sends emails and marketing emails async or not? Thanks, Idan
