I sent bulk mailing at all my contacts (They are 978), with a throttle of 500, I've got that ALL emails was sent correctly and.. AFTER when my crontab start civimailprocessor I received for first set (500 contacts) 12 bounce and 2 reply, for second set (478 contacts) I received 27 bounce.

In this way everything is working properly.
And for ALL bounce I have received several bounce reason by Mail Delivery Notification.

This is GOOD for CiviCRM 3.0.3.

In CiviCRM 3.0.4 everything don't work properly. because I receive bounce "Immidiatly", in this way CiviMail don't send emails and there isn't any Mail Delivery Notification... but only bounce with equal bounce reason.

Thanks a lot for your thorough testing! This, indeed, means that something went wrong in 3.0.4. I tried to track this down on Friday, but with no luck – in my tests all emails were sent out properly.

The main mailing-related component which we changed in 3.0.4 is the library behind CiviMailProcessor, but from your reports the problem is right there when sending, not when processing the bounces. The files that we changed between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 (unless I miss some vital change in some other file) that are related to sending emails (rather than processing the bounces) are CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php, CRM/Mailing/Event/BAO/Reply.php and CRM/Utils/Mail/FixedMailMIME.php – can you check whether overwriting these files in your 3.0.4 install with their versions from 3.0.3 changes anything?

You can download the 3.0.3 versions of these files from the below locations:

http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/tags/tarballs/3.0.3/CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php
http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/tags/tarballs/3.0.3/CRM/Mailing/Event/BAO/Reply.php
http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/tags/tarballs/3.0.3/CRM/Utils/Mail/FixedMailMIME.php

If 3.0.4 with the above files from 3.0.3 still doesn’t work, then maybe the mail processing library is indeed the culprit. In that case, please delete your 3.0.4 install’s packages/ezc directory and copy 3.0.3 version’s packages/ezc directory in there. (Note that we explicitly upgraded that library to make it work with Gmail where 3.0.3 breaks, but you report that you get the bounces immediately when you send the emails, so we need to fix that first).

I think I fixed the bug behind the CiviMail in CiviCRM 3.0.4/3.1.1 not sending emails; the relevant issue is CRM-5743.

Can 3.0.4 users overwrite their CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php file with the one from http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v3.0/CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php and verify?

Can 3.1.1 users overwrite their CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php file with the one from http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/v3.1/CRM/Mailing/BAO/Job.php and verify?

On 3.1.1 It seems work also for me...
but only if I use a FROM email (to send) and Mail Account (to receive) that are the same email alias of my mailbox.

I have to make more tests.. but it seems really work :-D

THANK YOUUUU!!! :-D

Hi,
I have today installed CiviCRM 3.1.3 ... I tried to send email at 2 mail box. The first is a valid email, second is invalid.

I've got EQUAL problem that I had in CiviCRM 3.0.4.
You previously posted to me a valid work around that solve problem in 3.0.4 and 3.1.1.  I was Happy!

I [waited 3.1.3 release to upgrade my 3.0.3 release, but now I see that 3.1.3 don't fix the problem.

Why didn't fix the problem? There will be soon a release with CiviMAIL fixed?

I don't want keep my 3.0.3 release to sent bulk mailing.
Can you help me? Can you help all people with this problem?

I will make other tests!

best regards

My contact in CiviCRM are almost all nameless, but only email address.

I will do tests!

Piotr, one of my clients running 3.0.4 is having delivery issues on contacts with no names. To fix this, what's the recommended set of files?

Should I use the three 3.0.3 files, just the one 3.1.1 fixed file, or the fixed 3.1.1 file and the other two 3.0.3 files?

Thanks,
Joe

The Mail.php is very different on the client's machine, so I'm not confident it's appropriate to try to just do the one patch. I'm going to upgrade the site to the latest tarball, then apply the patch and post the results here.

Not sure that's the same issue, with google apps it seems to be limited in the number of emails you can send by smtp. Try using your local mail server (via sendmail or smtp) to send the mails instead.

PS. On the next version, it will have a mail() (the default function on php) that should make it easier to config.
