    Unhappy Mass Mailer / Letters Not Being Sent

    Hi.

    My question is very simple because I have no idea about what is happening, if I go to the "mass mailer" section at my admin panel and add a letter/email/message to the mass mailer queue for it to be sent to subscribers, members, or both, the letter/email/message is successfully added to the queue but it is never sent (I have a message at the queue that has been there for about 2 weeks and has not been sent).

    At "global settings", in the section "Notify Letters", in the input box for "Send emails from queue, it happens every cron execution (5m-1h)" I have tested placing two different values, 50 and 5, assuming that this variable refers to the "amount of emails messages" to be sent at every cron execution. Nothing happened, no message was sent.

    (Note: my cron jobs are being executed correctly and every other email sent by the site is working correctly, at this moment the only thing that I have found to be not working at my site is the mass mailer system at the moment of sending the letters/emails/messages.)

    Can somebody help me to fix this mass mailer??, please, I really need to use it. Thank you for your time and any help, take care.

    Default Same here

    I can get mails to go out from the mass mailer, but it seems not everyone is getting a letter. Out of 30 users, it sent 23 letters out. I dont even know where to begin looking for why it does that.

    I think that depends on the selection users chose in thier profile settings. Like notify me or something. Or does the admin mass mailer bypass what their choice is...I dont know yet and will set up some test accounts and choose different settings to see if that is why some mails go out and some dont.


    Do you have custom cron jobs or did u use the examples from the install.txt

    My cron jobs are set as indicated.

    One is executed once a day and the other every 15 minutes.

    Also when I tried to send a letter using the mass mailer I chose to send it to everyone, subscribers and members, from any age, from any gender, etc. etc. etc. and I have my site settings at the join page and the page for editing profiles for people to not be able to choose any notify option, as a result the database always states the "notify me" option for every member.

    Default hmmm

    just checking here, do u click update message, then add message.... on the mass mailer page in admin panel...... I cant remember which step i missed before. but i was missing one of the steps and my mail sat in que and was never sent. I still have the not everyone getting the message problem but i think its because I give them the choice to not be notified......


    I wonder if the mailer sends out txt files for those who choose txt....and what about those who select dont know....... Yours should be going out if you have turned off the ability to select options.... Only thing i can think is your email address on your host isnt setup right... I have setup admin support and staff email addresses on my host and the default email addy is the staff addresss..... check there and make sure your email addresses are setup properly on your host in cpanel or whatever you use....


    We will find it somehow. Hang in there

    Well, I have the same email address for everything at my site, the address itself works correctly since I can send and receive messages without any problem, including emails from cron and emails from the admin panel like the "message from the administration" that can be sent at the page that lists profiles at the admin panel ( .../admin/profiles.php ).

    What I did when trying to send messages using the mass mailer is as follows:

    -Log in at my admin panel
    -Click mass mailer link
    -Under the title "E-mail message" I wrote the subject and the html body of the message and clicked "Add Message"
    -At the following screen I had everything checked: send to subscribers, send to members, sex, age (from the lowest to the highest), country (all), membership level (all)
    -and then, click on "queue message"

    Then the message was listed under the "Queue status" section at the mass mailer page and I waited and waited and it have been like about three weeks now and no message have been sent.

    Default Strange

    Well i just noticed you are using 5.6..... I dont know if anything has changed. Im using 6.0.0.3. But the steps u mentioned seem ok. Try update message then add message....and then que it.


    I dont wht the 5.6 menu looks like but I do all three steps just in case.


    Maybe Smoge or one of the others familiar with 5.6 can hop in here.


    I'll look around for some mail issues in the scripts some more.....
