Problem with forum mass mailing ....
I just sent a mass mailing to 250 users. Unfortunately, it started sending nicely but when it reached 120, it stopped and has hung there for about 10 minutes.

Since my account is #1, I know it worked that far.

Should I just send to the users over user ID 120 again or wait longer? It's been 14 minutes since there has been a change.

Is your board on a hosted service? I don't even attempt mass mail for my board (hosted), the process would get killed fairly quickly.

I would say your process either timed out, or was killed.

Hi Steve,

The mass mailer is intelligent enough to know who it has sent to - you should be able to click on "View" under current mailings. In the list you should see your mailing with something like "120/250 sent". If you click on "Continue mailing", it will automatically start from where it left off.

Thanks Jason.

I thought that might be true, but it did tell me that it mailed to 138 in the first batch, so I just did another for members from 138 up. I'll use the Continue button next time.
