civimail.cronjob.php only sending one mailing at a time
December 04, 2007, 02:35:40 am
I finally got to a point where the civimail.cronjob.php script is working and is successfully processing mail in the queue. These are jobs that have been in the queue for a period of time so are, in a sense, "overdue". I am running the script from the command line using wget with authentication. All of this is working except only one entry in the queue is processed at a time. If a re-run the script, the next item in the queue is processed.

Also, I am not sure of the relationship between the entries in the CiviMail Configuration screen and the cron job. That is Mailer Spool Period, Mailer Batch Limit and Mailer Spool Limit. It would seem that those settings would be meaningful if there were some kind of a daemon running that would query them every now and then but the cron job seems to run once and stop after only processing one item.

The Spool settings regard situations when you’re spooling emails to civicrm_mailing_spool instead of sending them.

Are you sure you simply don’t hit your Mailer Batch Limit when running the cronjob? CRM_Mailing_BAO_Job::runJobs() should process all scheduled jobs (until one of them goes over the limit).
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

The batch limit is set to 0 (unlimited).
I left the spool limit as blank. I'll try setting it to zero too or some other number. The instructions on the page are not clear. It says "for more than limit, send them in Spool Table." I'm not sure what that means.

I have now done this and got the same result. Only one mail at a time is processed when the script is run.

I could not find anything on civicrm_mailing_spool. I did a search and no results were returned.

I'm not sure exactly how this relates, but when I use the following URL provided in this forum:
http://<your drupal site>/civicrm/mailing/queue?reset=1

It does send the 8 emails that I'm trying to send with CiviMail.  I have not yet tried with a larger group.  I wonder if this would send more than one email at a time for Ozyank
