CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have SMTP relay limit of 1,000 per day.

I sent out mass mailing using CiviMail to 823 addresses.

To initiate the mailing I used "http://www.(DOMAINNAME).org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=(USERID)&pass=(PASSWORD)"

This works fine however the next day I went back to check on it and the status shows "still running" at 64% sent. Even today -- 3 days later, it's still at the same status. I did create a cron job on the server that initiates the above command every hour... I'm not sure what is going on. Is there some kind of error log or message file I can look up to see why it hasn't move past 64%? Or maybe it did complete but the report isn't displaying it correctly?

It looks like your cronjob is not working. Can you visit the same URL by hand again an see whether this sends another batch of emails?

Well, I had to set a cron-job... and I set it to do hourly instead of daily. I discovered that it sends only like 30-40 per cron job. But with it set hourly, it eventually sends them out all.... after a day or 2. Which is fine for me.....

My web hosting is with godaddy so I just went into the acct mgt and set the cron job there.

Hope that helps.

I entered in /usr/bin/wget -O - -q "http://www.DOMAINNAME.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=USERID&pass=PASSWORD"

Replace DOMAINNAME, USERID and PASSWORD with the correct value for your site.

Hope this helps -- GoDaddy SMTP relay is suppose to be able to send up to 1,000 addresses every 24 hours but it seems like the cron job sends around 30-40 at a time.... so set it frequently (hourly)
