Answers.Text: Hi @Fabian, thank you, you have been very kind. I'm trying [SYSTOPIA Donation Receipts Extension](https://github.com/systopia/de.systopia.donrec) and I think it is perfect for italian law. I'm using CiviCRM on Wordpress and it seems to work well except pdf view.
  Regards SMTP problem, my IP was added to some blacklists because a very large number of emails was sent in same time slot....of course :)

Body: <p>we are emailing the receipts of last year's contributions. From &quot;find contributions&quot; we select &quot;Thank-you letters - print or email&quot; and then &quot;Send emails where possible. Generate printable PDFs for contacts who cannot receive email.&quot;.</p>
  <p>I thought it was using the CiviMail component to send (and its configurations, like Mailer Batch Limit, Mailer Throttle Time), but <strong>emails are sent immediately</strong>, occupying a lot of memory resources. And my <strong>SMTP server rejects them as spam</strong>.</p>

  we are emailing the receipts of last year's contributions. From "find contributions" we select "Thank-you letters - print or email" and then "Send emails where possible. Generate printable PDFs for contacts who cannot receive email.".
  
  I thought it was using the CiviMail component to send (and its configurations, like Mailer Batch Limit, Mailer Throttle Time), but **emails are sent immediately**, occupying a lot of memory resources. And my **SMTP server rejects them as spam**.
  
  Have I forgotten a configuration? Or is it the behaviour for this process?
  Or is there another way to send receipts of last year's contributions?
  Or should I use SparkPost which distributes the email delivery?
  
  Any help is appreciated.
