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

To verify click the link

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 :oops:
It works now :D 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.
