Maximum megabits

The average maximum megabits per second (Mbps) Aurea List Manager should use. By default, this setting is "0", meaning use as much bandwidth as necessary.

In some circumstances, Aurea List Manager may use all of your bandwidth, limiting other web applications. If you have bandwidth limitations and would like to prevent Aurea List Manager from using all of your bandwidth, enter the amount of bandwidth (in Mbps) it should be allowed to use on average.

Note that this feature regulates the average bandwidth used by the server. If you are sending out very large messages, Aurea List Manager sends each one as quickly as possible, but then is idle for a period so that its average bandwidth is what is set here. If you must eliminate large bandwidth spikes as well as regulate your average bandwidth usage, you should consider a hardware solution (a managed switch with rate-limiting).

Maximum messages per hour

The number of messages your license permits you to send per hour. By default, Aurea List Manager is set to use the maximum number of messages per hour permitted by your license. This setting allows you to lower the maximum number of messages per hour ListManager sends.

Contact your account representative at 800-768-2929 or at sales@lyris.com for more information about increasing the maximum number of messages per hour.

Maximum simultaneous sends

Controls the number of simultaneous email messages ("sends") that can be sent at once. By default, Aurea List Manager is set to use the maximum simultaneous sends for your license.

In general, the maximum allowed by your license is sufficient. However, if you are finding that your bandwidth or firewall is being overtaxed by Aurea List Manager, you may want to set Maximum simultaneous sends lower.

If you are running a site that has a very large number of one-off messages, such as autoresponders, or many subscriptions, you may want to increase the number. Contact your account representative at 800-768-2929 or at sales@lyris.com for more information about increasing your maximum simultaneous sends.

Maximum CPU bound threads

Configures the number of threads Aurea List Manager is capable of using for DomainKeys signing in the background.
