Can we get a feature beyond A/B testing to batch send segments of a given list with 10 min between sends?

Hi there,

We, as many of us are experiencing, increased bot and AI presence on our website traffic...are trying to mitigate increased load to our web server. Our web developer is doing all he can to address it at the server side and has suggested that two ways we can help reduce server load: 1) batch send our emails, rather than send thousands of emails at once, or 2) increase our server bandwidth by purchasing greater capacity.

To go in and create different segments of a given list every time we send is not a good process. I’m wondering, since Targeted email already has A/B testing to split the list, could you develop that feature beyond the A/B testing into the ability to batch sends? Basically if we have a saved search of 5,000 people, we’d want to split the list into segments of roughly 1,000 each, but delay each send by 10 minutes. This would greatly help reduce load on our web server as it’s being inundated by bot traffic, and I’m sure others would appreciate the option.

Let me know if this seems feasible, or is desired and let me know where to send this feedback to escalate the need. Thanks!
