Do you use SMTP or mail to send e-mail?
I'm asking because I'm using mail and the newsletter doesn't get sent.

I have tested with everything.
If you use phpwcms on Windows you will need a local SMTP open relay server otherwise nothing happens.

OK try this:
Create new content part newsletter AND fill in NOTHING in the form. This should be enough for receiving the verify email:
Code: Select all
Hi Oliver,
You have subscribed to the newsletter at
http://phpwcms.myftp.org/
Before you will receive any newsletter
you have to verify the email address

You can use the following placeholder tags for the email templates within the newsletter form:
Code: Select all
{NEWSLETTER_NAME} = subscriber name
{NEWSLETTER_EMAIL} = subscriber email
{NEWSLETTER_VERIFY} = verify URL
{NEWSLETTER_DELETE} = delete URL
OK - that's it.

OK I'm stupid... I did not verify the addresses
It works now

Thanks for the great work!
I've got another question.
When somebody subscribes with an address that is already registered, a mail get's sent that their data has changed... that is OK.
But why do they need to reverify their address? We already know the address is correct?
But that's what I think about it...

Obviously a silly question from my side, but can't figure out how to know who has opted in to my newsletter list.
I subscribed to the list and clicked on the confirmation link in the email which was confirmed and I was redirected to the home page.
No confirmed email addresses however appears in the subscription list of the template.
Would appreciate some help on this...thanks.
