Problems with emailing to link owners
Hello,

if I start the emailing to the link owners (about 360 owners) the script stops with "Ready" after 100 or 200 mailings. I believe this is a traffic problem also. What can I do? Is there a "staggered mode" like page building?

Thank you for your help.

Thomas

There is not a staggered mode...This is not a traffic problem, but a problem with the number of messages you can send to people in your sendmail server configurations.

Contact your hosting company for assistance...or use a third party mailing list program that can handle more email addresses.

Hello Eliot,

my hosting company said the server is o.k. and the can not figure out problems in private cgi's :-(
But I get an idea: I have a nice program "Bulkmailer" and this works fine. I can import adresses from my database but there are two problems:

1. If there are the same eMail address more the one in my database I have this in my Bulkmailer.

2. If the link owner set to "Receive mail = No" I have this address in the Bulkmailer also.

Can anybody make a small script that build a file from my database with two columns "Name" and "email" with checking of the same email address and the field "Receive Mail"? If there the same address more then one or the field "Receive mail" = "No" then should not be copy this addresses in the new file.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my English.
