Bulk sending in one burst is how you get blocked

Blasting a list all at once trips spam filters and blows past your provider's rate limits. Flex Slow Mail sends one configurable batch per WP-Cron cycle, spreading a large campaign over hours or days so your domain keeps its reputation intact.

  • Batch size per cycle
  • Optional delay between sends
  • Automatic pause outside your sending windowPro

How it works

Connect your SMTP

Add a profile for Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Brevo or your own mail server. Test the connection before you save it.

Upload your list

Import a CSV or TSV. Duplicates and suppressed addresses are filtered out automatically at import.

Build the campaign

Write your subject and HTML body, pick one or more lists, then choose Send Now, Schedule Later, or a Time Slot window.

Send at a safe pace

WP-Cron processes one batch a minute. Watch sent, pending and failed counts update live, and pause or resume at any point.

Features

Paced batch sending

One batch per WP-Cron cycle, with a configurable batch size and an optional delay between individual sends.

Your own SMTP server

No per-email fees and no third-party sending limits. Route through any provider you already pay for.

Encrypted credentials

SMTP passwords are encrypted with AES-256-CBC before they ever touch the database.

CSV & TSV list import

Upload subscriber lists with automatic de-duplication and suppression filtering at import time.

Time Slot sendingPro

Restrict sending to chosen days and hours — business hours only, for example. Campaigns pause automatically outside the window.

Full analytics dashboardPro

Debug log & GDPR controls

A filterable log viewer for queue, cron and SMTP events, with configurable analytics retention periods.

Frequently asked questions

Free covers up to 1,000 subscribers, 4 campaigns and 1 SMTP profile, with Send Now and Schedule Later. Pro removes every limit and adds Time Slot sending, the full analytics dashboard with per-link click data, and integrations with SMTP plugins you already run.

Yes. Flex Slow Mail does not send mail itself — it routes through an SMTP account you control, such as Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES or Brevo. That is what keeps costs flat no matter how much you send. PHP's built-in mail() function is not supported.

WP-Cron fires a queue-processing event every minute, and each run sends one batch at the size you configure. A large list is spread across hours or days instead of going out in a single burst that would trip spam filters.

The plugin keeps working and your data stays intact. You stop receiving updates and Pro-only features return to their free-plan limits until you renew.

Yes. Deactivate it on the old site from your account area and activate it on the new one. Pro Agency covers 5 sites and Pro Unlimited has no site limit.

Yes — a 7-day money-back guarantee on every Pro plan, no questions asked. Pro Single also includes a 14-day free trial so you can test before you pay.

WP-Cron only fires when someone visits your site, so on a quiet site a scheduled campaign can sit waiting. Adding a server cron that calls wp-cron.php every minute makes sending reliable.

No. Flex Slow Mail is built for newsletters and bulk campaigns, where pacing is a feature. Password resets and order confirmations need immediate delivery — use a standard SMTP plugin for those.
