That's correct, otherwise your subscribers might get weird emails.The only way to update the Autoresponder is to pause it and then resume.
I don't see how these two are connected, maybe i am missing something, but the "Pause after send" is a delivery server settings which applies right after an email is sent with that delivery server, so it will apply regardless of anything else.I want to be able to play with the "Pause after send" in each deliver servers without having to pause and resume the Autoresponder is that possible?
