Attack Simulator

Just from testing my department yesterday, the one thing I feared would happen, did. It “shotgunned” the email to everyone and within minutes I could hear people talking about it and asking if they got the email. I don’t feel like people learn by themselves when everyone knows what’s going on. I would like to see if it would be possible to have emails go out at defined times (ex. 10 emails every 2 hours until complete).  If it's not currently possible, could it be looked at to add it?

      Hi,
      Looking at this topic right now and already read the article, and now preparing one simulation, there's still one question which is not clear for me.
      I want to randomize the sending times, to avoid the "crowd" effect of everyone receiving at the same time. But if I define the start date as 1 of October for example and end date for 15 of October, how will the randomization of email sending happen?
      Usually I leave the campaigns on a 15 days timeframe, to give enough time to any user which is on vacation for a week for example. But if the randomization occurs between the start date and end date, that may mean that some users will receive the email near the last days?
      Thanks
