Hello,

I installed the Internal Mass Mailer in a dbman Database. Everything is ok, but nowbody received a email.
When i used $mailprog = "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oeq";
then i get a dead.letter file in my Homepage Root.

If i use $mailprog = "|/usr/lib/sendmail"; i can not send mails.

Regular i use in other cgi Scripts like FormMail /usr/lib/sendmail and it works fine !

Thank you for help

Schani

As the error message says, perhaps missing or malformed recipient.

Are you sure schani@schani.de is a valid email address?

I found the error !

I used the Code from Form Mail an change the code to

in the cfg file
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

in db.cgi
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") || &cgierr("unable to open mail program");

and now it workes fine, but ?


I have now 550 email adresses in 550 records.
when i send all records then i get back a error 500
But the email going out.

The reason cult be that i have some invalid email adresses in the database ?

Or is it i timeout error and the server is to slow to handle 550 adresses ?

Thanx for help

Schani,

the most likely reason is a server timeout. When I try to send more than 200 mails my server goes bonanzas. Does anyone one how to fix this?

Befor i use dbman and the Mass Mail Mod i used SubscribeMe 2.0 and send sometimes 5000 Emails without problems from the same Server. It must be a Mass Mail Mod problem.

Schani

I use a "Mail List" script called "RobMail", and what it does is break down your list and sends out the email to 20 people at a time, so as not to put a strain on the server.

Perhaps you could implement a similar feature into the mass mail mod.

Hello Astroboy,

i can not find in Robmail any code that only send 20 mails a one time ?

can you give me the line number ?

i like to integrate this funktion !

Best regards

Did you ever get this problem resolved?

Mass Mail continues to breakdown on me between 75 - 200 sends. There's no consistency.

If you found out anything new I'd be real interested to find out what you did to solve the problem!

No Sorry,

it´s not possible to send out more than 200-300 Emails. Now i use a costumized Version of MailMan 3.0

Schani,

Thanks for letting me know!!

Were you able to customize the mailman program so that it accesses the email addresses directly from the DBman database?

If so I'd really like to know how you were able to do it!?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
