For starters, change count=10 to count=1.

To guarantee a rate of under 6 emails per minute, more fundamental changes are necessary... mails are also sent directly without going through this queue mechanism.

Also depending on your user activity, it just can't be done. If new notification mails come in faster than they can be sent out, it will never finish.

Seems that your advice works because I recive a notification for a certain thread after 30-60 mins. after the new post. I thing it's ok for now. Maybe I will try to increse the "count" value to 3 or 4, in order to speed up a little the sending (15mins. would be fine).

I talk with many hosting services from my county and seems that 5-6 emails / min. is the standard here in Romania. The only solution sugested is the VPS, from 5Euros / month unmanaged, without Cpanel license.

For now I'm ok but if the forum grows up, I will surely chose a VPS.

Regards and thank you all for help.
