Review 4 by Compass
1. As a built in solution, your host needs to allow large numbers of emails to be sent out, most cap at a few hundred an hour. This is a common problem with all current Joomla email solutions.
Is it a component's fault that a web host limits outgoing email ? No ! - Nothing to do with the component!
FACT: mosLM uses a global queue and sends in batches with a pause between batches, the number of emails per batch and the pause between are hightly configurable in the mosLM Control Panel. You can pause the sending at the end of a batch and return and restart sending at a later time/date. You can configure it to send 100 in a batch and change the pause to be 9000 seconds if you wish!
2. When working with big lists (5000+) sending emails out chokes the server. We had a dedicated server on a tier one host. Sending an email would slow and/or crash the server. Nothing we or the hosting support could do would stop this problem.
Is it a component's fault that a web server cannot cope with sending 5000 emails in one go? No ! - Nothing to do with the component! - In fact I send to over 8000 in one go through a SMTP EMAIL SERVER that is designed for EMAIL SENDING and not WEB HOSTING! - Nothing to do with the component! If your web host cannot sort out sending emails then change web host or buy a bigger and better server or relay emails through a EMAIL SERVER and not through your live web serving server
3. It is missing the key feature of integrating with the Joomla user database.
The only part of the review that is factually correct !!
I strongly request this review be removed or edited to provide a fair review of the component. As it stands it is 66% rubbish !!!
