now for a new error

Yeah, that'll happen if you are trying to send a lot of emails.

Try editing ...

./plugins/fabrik_cron/email/email.php

... and at line 50, as the first line of the process() method, put ...

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

That may or not may not work, depending how your web server is configured. Usually on shared sites you won't be able to override things like execution time. But if you have your own VM, it should work.

What about if I change joomla over to use smtp

You should DEFINITELY use SMTP, with a reliable 3rd party relay service. I like SendGrid, who have a free tier for up to about 10k emails a month. That's a must, purely for reliability. Never use the built in PHP mailer. And if you are using the PHP mailer, yes, you will get waaaay faster delivery using SMTP through a decent relay.
