 Topic: Mass Mailing Bug..?
Posted: 12 February 2003 at 9:39pm |
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.?

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.

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.

I have a similar problem. When I attempt to mass email the script responds as above, Dont hit refresh, then the script responds with a message stating There are 377 emails sent out of a total of 377 . However, it does not send a one. All other email functions work fine. PM Notify, Post Notify Etc...

Hi wfusco
Does indeed seem strange that evey aspect of your site (PM
Notification, posting notification etc) work fine, but the Mass
Emailing doesn't.
Contrary to Borgs reply, it doesn't seem to suggest that your Email
setup is in error, since it works for all aspects of "bulk emailing"
outside of the admin area (eg sending post notifications is effectively
a 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
- Your JMail install has a bug/limitation. I doubt this since
you can send Emails for postings adn JMail is widely known as being
good for Mass Mailings. GIven that your Mail Server doesn't even
see a connection, I' sense its something in the JMail component.
What version are you using?
- 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 since
you have mentioned previously that you house your own Mail Servers.
Somehow its particular to your specific install, and given that CDOSYS
doesn't work on your server .... its something in your server (and
possibly outside the WWF Code).
Good luck.

The latest free versions of Jmail do not support bulk mailing. You have to have the Standard or Pro version.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Does the Mass Mailing of a "posting notification" occur differently
than that of a Mass Mailing from the Admin area? Both send to
multiple recipients, although I haven't checked, but maybe the Admin
area 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?
