Cron based e-mail sending
Developer Last Online: May 2013 
For vBulletin 4.1.0 Only
Versions Attached 4107: vBulletin 4.1.0 to 4.1.12 This modification is not available for vBulletin 4.0.x This modification is not required for vBulletin 4.2.x Onwards. Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification. Please fee free to nominate this modification for the MOTM, and/or use the donate link provided (Support Developer). In default vBulletin, if you send a large number of e-mails, vbulletin either puts them in it's queue and attempts to send them as each user visits a page, or just simply tries to send them straight away (as is the case when you use the Administrators email users inteface). The result of this can be that your server can gets seriously overloaded very quickly - or on many hosts, you get banned for exceeding their e-mail sending limits. This can make sending several thousand e-mails (like a newsletter) very difficult. This modification helps in three ways ; 1. The processing of the mail queue is set-up as a vbulletin cron item. 2. You can add a small delay before each e-mail is sent (0,1,2 or 5 seconds). 3. E-mails from the ACP inteface are sent to the mail queue, not straight to the mail system. Use option 2 carefully, otherwise you will slow your e-mail system right down. For this to work, you must use e-mail queuing (ACP Options - Use Mailqueue System = Yes) and also the 'Number of Emails to Send Per Batch' needs to be a realistic value (see below). The installation process will attempt to set these options for you. This modification also requires two file edits to work correctly. There are two options for the cron job, you can either set it to run every minute, and set the items to be processed to something small (like 10), or you can do what this modification does by default and set it to run every 10 minutes, and set the items to be processed to something larger (like 80, which is the default). Remember, 10 e-mails per minute = 600 per hour while 80 e-mails every 10 minutes is 480 per hour. The numbers you set really depend on how quick you want large queues processed, and how much your mail server can handle in one go. The default settings are fine for most people. Once working, when using the ACP mail users inteface, remember you can set it to process 9999 at once (not 500) as the mails will now go into the queue, not be sent directly. Note: This modification will only affect queued e-mails such as subscription e-mails. It will not affect registration e-mails as they always bypass queuing. This modification also displays the size of the e-mail queue in the ACP homepage, based on code supplied by Antivirus. To install, download and uzip the files, then follow the instructions in the text file. Support Limited support will be provided for vBulletin 4.1.8 - 4.1.12 (No bug fixes). Support will not be provided for Alpha & Beta versions, or anything prior to vBulletin 4.1.8. Low priority will be given to posters who do not have this marked as installed In some cases, support can only be provided if I have an admin login and ftp access. History: v4.0.1 : 30-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold. v4.1.0 : 04-Dec-2010 : Updated for vBulletin 4.1. v4.1.7.0 : 16-Oct-2011 : Updated for vBulletin 4.1.7.

yeah I could use some Cron ased e-mail sending
 Back when I did use this, I noticed it helped with the server load, however since I get around 1000 registrations a day and have almost half a million members it was just delaying the sending of the critical emails too much.
