Bulk Mail
I keep getting this error trying to send out a newsletter...

A fatal error has occurred:
Could not reestablish connection at GT::Mail::BulkMail::_smtp_send line 818.
Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

$!: Broken pipe

I'm running under mod_perl is that makes a difference.

Changing from sendmail to smtp gives:

Paul,
Did you ever get your email functioning in 2.1.1? I opened a support ticket, and Alex sshed to my server and fixed it. I was told, "The issue is a conflict between our bulk mail module and mod_perl." Anyway, I asked Alex to post the fix in the bug fix forum, but he hasn't yet. If yours is still broken, you might email him while it's fresh on his mind to get it fixed. Smile

Hiya,

Just looking through some of the recent posts and the bulk mailing issue has popped up a few times, but doesn't seem to have been solved?

See here for a similar post...

Maybe Alex or someone from GT can confirm if there's a problem with mass mailings on the latest release? - I'm about to upgrade one of my installations and need this to be working.

cheers!

I hear ya... I wish Alex would post it in the bug fix forum like I requested. I know many people must be having a problem with this if they are running mod_perl. Alex fixed mine, but I don't know what he changed to get it working. Unsure

Heello SeanP

what about to attach the related Mail files

(Files in GT::Mail & Links::Massmailer.pm)
so we can check the difference with ours.
hope this could help other users with this trouble

I did a comparison for the files, and saw that the changes took place at the bulkmail.pm:)

Thank you,

I will check the difference.

Does anybody using Gossamer Forum or another application of Gossamer Threads?

you can check the difference between the other GT applications, because Gossamer uses the same GT Engines, but this will be updated in the releases of the individual applications.

I believe Links SQL 2.1.1 has the latest version of the GT modules. Haven't all of the other GT applications been updated with these same mods?

hello SeanP,

do you use gossamer Forym v.1.18 or another application released after Links-SQL2.1.1?

in that case
check the headers and look for the CVS info & the Revision, you can see the release date there.
each scripts has these details.

hope it helps,

I just tried to use the new version of BulkMail.pm after experiencing the same error but now I just get:

Could not reestablish connection (Tried Cannot reset connection: No response from server. Received server line: () (Mail::Error: ) Reconnecting) at GT::Mail::BulkMail::_smtp_send line 820.

Unsure

In Setup > Email Options I have:

db_smtp_server = {blank}
db_mail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

How are your's set?

Crap I was missing the -t switch - adding that in seemed to fix it.

Thanks :)
