Bulk emails with Mandrill


I am considering implementing Mandrill for a fully customised email component and have 1 quick question if I may as I can’t find the answer in any of the documentation:

Using the Mandrill API, if I send a single request to the API with the preserve_recipients option set to false and the async option set to true with a single array with 750 recipients in it, will Mandrill send 1 email with 750 recipients hidden from each other or will it que it and send 750 individual emails?

I would prefer the latter but I am trying to save server time at my end by making 750 API calls to send individual emails when Mandrill’s server already does this.

Many thanks!


Solution

  • I have heard back from Mandrill on this and this is what they said:

    You're correct that it would send 750 separate / individual emails

    I am still yet to test it but it looks promising.

    Just in case anyone else out there had the same question.
