RE: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RAQ 4 (Sending Mass Mail) Why not working.

["Wayne McBryde" <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like the same problem I had.  My list of 2500 (all opt-in) would
start sending but at some point the e-mails would stop going out.  I found
that the relay window for the e-mail server was 15 minutes.  So the messages
sent out in the first 15 minutes went without a problem but anything after
that failed.  So before I send to my list, I change the "Relay Window" to a
longer time (cobalt main page - control Panel - E-Mail server parameters -
Relay Window).  It will also work if you keep your mail program open and it
checks that server for mail more often than the time it takes for the relay
window to close.

I hope this helps and please understand my understanding of this issue is
limited, but it fixed my problem.

Subject: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RAQ 4 (Sending Mass Mail) Why not
working.




I have a quick question.

I am using Subscribe Me! Lite (cgi-resources.com)
as a mailing list.

I never used it onto a RAQ till recently.

I sent out 1,500 - 2,000 emails and put my own email at the end.
Never got it.

I put my email in let's say 350th place and I get it.

Is the raq / sendmail setup to block mass mail as such?

I checked the log and noticed a huge increase on one of the
domains.  True it seems that it went through but not all
maybe.

Incoming Mail (LOCAL) stats is also very high.  Meaning
that a big portion of the list came back to localhost
for non-existing.

My question is even if others did not go through why didn't
I receive a reply with my email at the end.

Just wondering.

Thanks,
