Quote · 31 Dec 2009

Ok, here is the what is wrong, mass mailer work, but... only send mail to members with unconfirmed mails...

Quote · 31 Dec 2009

Now, i have change some lines and put every member in qued, in database write ok recepient mail but dont send mail, say:

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no
delivery could be attempted.

- Start email send -
Total queued emails: 35
Ready for send: 1
Processed emails: 1


???? any clue ????

I cannot beleive that no body give damm for this problem about mass mailer...

Quote · 31 Dec 2009

Is the template and web site submit more important to you people than function on site like notifies member about something? Is there any body put Mass mailer into the track?

Quote · 31 Dec 2009

If i had a answer i would give you one, but i don't. If i actually used that function i would want it to work also, but i am a internet service provider and have been for 18 years now. I see mass mail of any kind as spam which is why i don't use the function. But thats just my personal opinion.

Unfortunatly you will have to wait for someone to look into the problem.

Mass Mailer from Dolphin does work.

Dolphin_Jay and i have spent about four hours today researching this issue. First off All we will step through and make sure that you are utilizing the mass mailer properly.

first thing we do is draft up the email that is going to be sent out.

mass mailer D7

Create Email for Mass Mail

email now gets submitted to the database for use now and in the future as it will store your templated emails

email submitted to database

now we checked the database to see that the template has been saved to the database for present and future mailing.

email submitted to database

now in the admin panel we are going to select the email that we wish to send off.

select email that you want to mass mail

email is now fired and queued in the database.

email fired and queued in database

now for those who think it has hung up in queue, which it will present that to you as it never will report that the mail was sent. you can check the database and ensure there is nothing in queue.

check database mail has been sent

as some proof that the mail was sent, i do get this error returned to me that there was a recipient with no email address, however, it has been verified on my database that no such user exists, so not sure what that is about at this point.

receive error message that recipient had no email address

then dolphin_jay sends me a screenshot of the mail he received as you can see the email subject and body are in this email that he received.

email received by member

so that ladies and gentleman is our solution and understanding of the mass mailer working.

DosDawg

thanks i can assure you it took longer to make this than it does to run through this how-to and figure it out. hope this works out for you. the one thing i didnt put on here, and that is because other mails were processing, was that was was running:

Quote · 2 Jan 2010

you have certainly provided some good feedback on this one. ok it is now determined that we are looking at two things and one of them is a bug on the mass mailer. the failed mails going out is telling me that there is something wrong with your smtp setting, because i just tested it again, and the mail goes out, the mails queued in admin never clears, but i watched them leave from the database, and then i received the email in my inbox, also dolphin_jay received the email in his inbox.

for yours to say the mail failed, means they email addresses are not processing across your smtp settings.

that is the one thing i see.

now the part about the mail not having a recipient is a bug in the mailer, without a doubt;

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no delivery could be attempted.

when a user joins your site do you get a notice?

when a user uploads something do you get a notice?

when you subscribe to a user do you get a notice?

can you ask your ISP to check the logs on the /exim

as for the no email recipient, that is a bug i am most certain, and will be reported to trac.

I think you will find the reason that only 2 emails end up in the queue is because the other 711 do not have the check box to "Receive mass mail" checked. And the other 2 profiles do.

Alex,  I posted on another thread, but there is no way to send a mass message out to members who have no birthday.  Many business sites do not require it.  Members included several different solutions - could we include one on the next release - I actually don't think even dating sites would normally want to send messages out to certain age ranges.

Also, the checkbox for letting members receive, or not receive broadcast emails is not available for admin edit - perhaps you thought this should only be under member control, but admin should have it also - for example not sending a message to member who is mad at you!  This capability is available in Deano's tools, but should be part of the base product.

This thread I think addresses this issue, the "the queue" from the admin perspective, is how many emails you have submitted to be sent, not how the chron is processing it - 50 at a time, or whatever.

Quote · 19 Feb 2010

Ok smarty pants, explain this.... I also noticed the emails setting in queue. Every so often, it sends 20 until it exhausts whats in the queue. I am assuming it's a function of the cron job.

I had this same problem and found 2 issues that had to be resolved.

The first issue is valid email addresses.  In my table, some profiles had email addresses like xxx@something,com (notice the , instead of a .) or were xxx@somethingcom .  These accounted for a handful of errors, once I went through and handcorrected them, most of my invalid email addresses were fixed.

Once I applied the global change in the changeset, the few remaining invalid email addresses were fixed.  Now I get only 1 invalid error and I suspect that it is due to a wrong email address input again, but I don't have the time to go through all my members to try and find it.

@alex, would it be possible to force email validation like password to ensure they type it in correctly, which can help eliminate some of these issues?

 You do realize that the emails do not go out right away. They will not process until the cron runs. That happens dependant on how you have it setup.

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no
delivery could be attempted.

Nope. All the records have email addresses. No empty fields

Also, these are the exact same users that were in the email I posted above.

First of all check if cron job is setup correctly.

Thanks for your reply. Yes.. you are right... cron jobs are not setup, cause our hosting company did installation for us.

And now... we are wondering - how can we get now the actual Cron Job commands which have been generated by the script at the 6th step of the installation process?


thanks

@777ideas

You need to run cron.php file from periodic folder. I hope you have an idea in your 777 ideas on how run run this php file from command line :)

I had this same problem and found 2 issues that had to be resolved.

The first issue is valid email addresses.  In my table, some profiles had email addresses like xxx@something,com (notice the , instead of a .) or were xxx@somethingcom .  These accounted for a handful of errors, once I went through and handcorrected them, most of my invalid email addresses were fixed.

Once I applied the global change in the changeset, the few remaining invalid email addresses were fixed.  Now I get only 1 invalid error and I suspect that it is due to a wrong email address input again, but I don't have the time to go through all my members to try and find it.

@alex, would it be possible to force email validation like password to ensure they type it in correctly, which can help eliminate some of these issues?

@mauricecano

Where are these incorrect emails ? in Profiles or sys_sbs_users table ?

Profiles table I just went into sys_sbs_users and just found an incorrect email there too, now I get no errors!

I have changed description in this ticket http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1678 - to add extended email checking on subscription form.

Check sys_sbs_users table, if there is any records with empty email field.

Yes, there is a valid email address in both fields under basic settings. I did however, find an error in my own email server. I had the outgoing email limits set too low and the email server timed out. This was followed by a bunch of error messages that stacked up in the queue further complicating things. In the end, I flushed 1200 waiting emails from the queue and reset the limit to 'unlimited', then spent an hour deleting emails locally that left the queue before I could delete them and all is well.

You should see how an IPhone handles an onslaught of email like that. I got tired of deleting them so I just waved the whole phone in front of a big magnet!

I'm the only person I know that can set up an endless loop in an email server that's not functioning to the point of total disaster. I HATE email servers....

What does all this mean?

Most likely the email I said showed up after I made the changes in the changeset was an old email that was created days ago. I have not received one since I applied the changes so all is well for now.

Can I just add to this post by saying that there have been issues that I have experienced with the Mass Mailer and it has been confirmed elsewhere in this post that Boonex are aware.

I also want to add something else though which I experienced.  As with everything best described with a picture -

Mass Mail

When selecting Send to subscribers as well as send to members the emails that I sent out were addressed to the recipient from the member list and also the one and only name that I had on the subscribe list.  This is not good and another thing that needs to be brought to bonnex attention.

Just wondering if anyone knows if this error has been addressed in the 7.0.1 update?  I will test later when I have some time but just curious if anyone else had come across the same or similar issue.

I have two Dolphin 7.0.2 communities. One of my communities will only queue the first 31 members. It will not queue the remaining 300 members despite EmailNotify being set to '1'.  Has anyone else experienced this? With my other community the mass mailers works fine and queues all members.

So I take it that This is another module that I should delete from the list!

This one site that I am using is still 7.0.0(because of all the patches and changes that I have applied)

And I tried also to use it, and it doesnt work like it supposed to! I will check my 7.0.2 site and see

(I hate removing another module)

@sandalsonly - I dont know of any module that keeps the Mass Mailer from working. So I'm not sure why you would need to remove a module.

 

The Mass mailer works primarily on the cron job setup in your cPanel/Cron Jobs. If this is not setup properly, then emails will not be sent. Also note that the emails do not instantly go out and may need time to clear the queue depending on how many members you have.

Nothing to see here
