Hi,
What is the best way to limit the rate at which RSBlog sends email notifications to blog subscribers when a new post is added? I ask because shared webhosts sometimes put limits on how many emails per hour and per day a tenant website is allowed to send. Once that limit is violated the shared host will often shut down further email sending.
Thank you,
Ari

RSBlog support answered this in a ticket. Answer pasted below:
a new RSBlog! version:

There is now an option under components > RSBlog! > Configuration > Frontend tab > Subscriptions area, namely:

- Subscriptions sending method

You can select the Cron method, then further adjust the followings:

- Sending quota - Select how many subscription e-mails to send in one go. Defaults to 100
- Check interval (minutes) - To avoid multiple connections that might be detected as flood by your server, you need to set a time interval between connections. Defaults to 30 minutes.
- Cron URL - This is the URL you need to use when setting up a cron job: https://mywebsite/index.php?option=com_rsblog&task=cron

On my particular site, on shared hosting provided by SiteGround, that cron job looks like this in the SIteGround SiteTools panel:
