CiviMail on Windows
June 08, 2011, 01:35:58 am
I am a newbie, so please bear with me. I have gotten CiviMail configured and am able to receive the Test Mail.

When I start the mail out, I then realizes it runs on CRON. Problem is, I have Windows. Is there anyway to manually trigger the mail out? Can I use Windows Scheduler instead of CRON?

By the way, I am using CiviCRM 3.4.2 on XAMPP in Windows.

Kindly advice

You can also send the mailing using http://....../civicrm/mailing/queue

I think you can use scheduler.

Be sure to download and install the WGET package for Win32, as you don't want to be using the default browser to trigger the mailing/process replies. (There is no easy way to quit the browser(s) after execution).
