- Schedule
You can either choose to send the email immediately or schedule a date and time for it to be sent. Finally click on Submit Mailing. By default, CiviMail checks every 15 minutes for any emails that are ready to be sent, so the start of the mailing could be delayed by up to 15 minutes.
Mailings sent to large numbers of recipients are sent in batches of about 400 to reduce the likelihood of the emails being caught in spam filters. Therefore, the actual sending of your mass mailing can take several hours depending on your server configuration.
to fit with Michael's comment
Neither of those are set in stone - both can and should be adjusted by as sys admin. I would make them both more generic and have a sentence like consult with your system admin to find out how your civicrm is set up.
Also something just above that is dodgy, but I can't remember what,
