Mass mail
Hi,
Sending mass mail always times out, at about halfway through the mailing.

How to over come this?

Sending mail in batches ? is that possible.
Even sending at 3 AM when server load is low has no effect.

Cheers for any time

There is a MOD to send the mass email via Crontab, which may be a better solution.

Look in the RESOURCE area [Support -> Resources] (in this web site)...

Search for cron newsletter.

Goodbye and good luck! Tongue

Buh Bye!

Hi,

Sending mass mail to all users times out at 2300 mails.
I have about 4000 in the db.

Like I already mentioned, your script is timing out based on the large number of users you have in yoru email.db file, if you use Crontab, you may be able to reach all your subscribers, although in terms of future growth, you should consider upgrading to LINKS SQL to accomodate the larger volume of users.

Buh Bye!

Thanks- I currently have 500, so I guess I'm good for a while! Cool
