I’ve configured alerts.xml to send out email notifications via SMTP for certain events, specifically to notify when a file is sent or received (Event: Messaging.Message.PayloadDelivered). This works, however, apparently our email server cannot handle receiving multiple emails at the same time and not all notifications are received. I have other (vbs) scripting to send emails and create a 5 second pause between emails and that works quite well.

I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how I can create a delay between the sending of the notifications configured from alerts.xml. How are the emails sent? Is there a file that I can edit to insert a delay between the emails?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
