# Send Emails in Batches

By default, the IDOL Community component sends emails individually. To speed up the email process, you can configure Community to send emails in batches. The mailer can continue generating emails while sending batches of emails.

To set up batch emails

1. Open the IDOL Community component configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[Email]` section.

3. Add the following configuration parameter:

   `MaxEmailsToSendBatchProcess` | Specify the maximum number of emails to store in the queue before sending as a batch. The default value is `20`.

4. You can slow the email process by using the following configuration parameter:

   `SleepBetweenSentEmails` | Specify a sleep time (in milliseconds) after the mailer sends each email. The default value is 0.

For example:

    [Email]
    MaxEmailsToSendBatchProcess=100
    SleepBetweenSentEmails=50
