Answer 1

I think you should set this configuration at the application level rather than the cron job level.

Let's say, cron job should run every minute but the application itself should know howmany e-mails to send when a cron job runs by checking the datetime for the last e-mail is sent, and let's say, send 3 more e-mails and so.
