Lift the pause on a campaign
Resumes delivery of the messages of a job stopped with pause job.
The main trap is expecting the messages to go out all at once. After resuming, the campaign obeys the same queue limits: what accumulated during the pause goes out at the pace of max-msg-rate and connections, not in one burst.
What the Hub does. It does not call it: the Hub does not manage jobs.

◇A license for a fleet, not for a serverThe license is not bound to a server: it is installed on as many machines as the instance limit allows, and the nodes send volume statistics to the vendor every hour.◇How the node selects a source and combines its settingsA connection falls under all source blocks whose addresses cover it, and they act merged — the narrow one overrides the wide one; named blocks are attached only by direct reference.◇Address lists — named and unnamedA list of addresses, domains, patterns or hashes; a named one is attached by directives such as suppression, an unnamed one lives inside an inbound mail processor.
