These cron jobs and processes generate significant server load, and our priority right now is scaling big and speeding up the app. It's like changing tires on a moving car, since we're getting 3k new users signing up to MailChimp per day.That being said, according to the data from our Email Genome Project, weekends kinda get a bad rap: http://www.slideshare.net/HubSpot/the-science-of-email-marketng?from=ss_embed We are definitely talking about more granularity and control in scheduling RSS campaigns (and autoresponders), but we have no ETA on that.

For most businesses this will make a huge difference to the open rate...delivering a newsletter on a Saturday or Sunday just doesn't make sense! Hi,

I checked everything and all is in tact, and i know for sure there was content posted before 1pm pst on May 14. Any ideas? Hi Ben,

Don't see why that wouldn't work. You might setup a list where you're the sole subscriber, then test this on yourself. Just to be safe.

Wouldn't that accomplish an hourly rss check? Out of curiosity could I set it up to send an email out at 9am every morning and 10am and 11am and so an and so forth.

I think you would need to do this via our API, not through RSS-to-email. I also don't think we have any plans to provide an option for hourly RSS emails, so Aweber might actually be your best bet there.

Aweber allows you to schedule RSS emails to be sent right away. Every hour Aweber check your feed and sends out emails.I promise my 40k strong list blog post notifications. I can't do that with mailchimp. In every other way you guys kill Aweber I am waiting for you to catch up with RSS scheduling so I can migrate to MailChimp Not good enough!
