I didn't catch that part.

but if I were wfusco, I'd still check to see if I was running the free version of 4.4 jmail as the behavior he describes sounds like it's working through the list but not actually executing the send. That's pretty much the way I'd disable it if it were mine.

More info at the jmail site - http://www.dimac.net/

Does the Mass Mailing of a "posting notification" occur differentlythan that of a Mass Mailing from the Admin area?  Both send tomultiple recipients, although I haven't checked, but maybe the Adminarea is doing a Huge BCC?

From what I understand of his problem, it only affects the Admin area.

From this I would presume (maybe incorrectly) that the actual component seems to be working normally and OK?

Hi wfusco

Does indeed seem strange that evey aspect of your site (PMNotification, posting notification etc) work fine, but the MassEmailing doesn't.

Contrary to Borgs reply, it doesn't seem to suggest that your Emailsetup is in error, since it works for all aspects of "bulk emailing"outside of the admin area (eg sending post notifications is effectivelya bulk mailing with every message being personally "customised").

Personally Id use CDOSYS, but as you are using JMail Id suggest that it can only be one of two things
  1. Your JMail install has a bug/limitation.  I doubt this sinceyou can send Emails for postings adn JMail is widely known as beinggood for Mass Mailings.  GIven that your Mail Server doesn't evensee a connection, I' sense its something in the JMail component. What version are you using?
  2. The Bulk Mailing code has a limitation.  In some ways I doubt this as well, since it works fine on my site (using CDOSYS).
We can also remove any "spam" filters on relaying SMTP Servers sinceyou have mentioned previously that you house your own Mail Servers.

Somehow its particular to your specific install, and given that CDOSYSdoesn't work on your server .... its something in your server (andpossibly outside the WWF Code).

Good luck.

Also CDONTS is the only component that is really capable of handling mass email well, so if you can't use CDONTS I wouldn't use this feature.]]> Thu, 13 Feb 2003 03:08:02 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/mass-mailing-bug_topic115_post491.html#491 <![CDATA[Mass Mailing Bug..? : It proablly means that the email...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/mass-mailing-bug_topic115_post489.html#489 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

It proablly means that the email component you are trying to use is not installed on the server, or your settings are incorrect.

You first need to get all the details from your web host and then use those details to setup the email settings from the admin area.

I tried to use the mass mailing feature on v7 but it would only send the emails to a handful of members and throw an error, this is the exact error:

The email's are being sent
Do not Hit Refresh or some members will receive the email twice!

This may take some time depending on the speed of the mail server and how many email's there are to send. There are 16 email's sent out of a total of 166

error '8004020f'

/forum/admin/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 137

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong.?
