CiviMail Mailing Question
July 02, 2007, 10:01:20 am
Thank you for the help and quick responses about my previous post. I edited the tags template to not show the Activities tab and that is working fine so far.

I've run into another issue unfortunately using CiviMail. I sent out a mailing to a group that contained 1646 people. After the cron job ran (I ran it manually and it took a while to finish) the report for the mailing states "597 Intended Recipients" instead of 1646. I am wondering if there is a limit on the number of emails that can be sent out at once, or if the emails were sent out but the report is incorrect. Thanks.

You might want to check your error log and see if the cron job died because of memory/execution time limits

You might also want to try running it a few more times and let the code process the remaining emails

There might be several reasons for this. First, there might be a timeout limit on your PHP scripts (even the commandline ones). Second, there might be a limit set by your SMTP provider. Third (which I doubt, but it’s worth checking), every batch is limited by the Mailer Batch Limit setting (found under Administer CiviCRM → Global Settings → CiviMail Configuration in CiviCRM 1.7); the default is 0 (i.e., no limit), though.
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.

Thank you for the replies guys. I've solved the problem. It was a goof on my part. I imported the mailing list but some of the e-mails didn't get imported, so although I had 1646 members in my mailing group, only about 597 of them had an e-mail account thus the cause of my problem. I also changed the max execution time in my cli/php.ini file to a larger number as well, so my cron job script ran perfectly fine. Thanks for the tip.  :)
