Newsletter Problem -> send failed (38%)

Hi there,

i've got a big newsletter problem...

It seems that this is a problem with my shared server (90 sec time for a process) and the sending of a newsletter (2000 Recip.) is failed after around 38%.
There ist no error message or something.

How can i solve this problem (like sending of newsletter after 100 Recip > click next manually)

Any Ideas?

hello

ask your host if he would raise the timeout time!

Same problem here... did you solved the problem?

Could this be a timeout problem?
Which timelimit needs to be raised?

Yes it seems to be a time-limit of the server.

I couldn't solve this problem.

(((

There's a similar problem in phpBB (Reorganize Search-Keywords) - there it is solved via a http-refresh/click next button.

Any ideas/solutions for phpwcms?

hmm you would have to hack the quellcode, I guess that the email-adresses are all loaded into an array, search this array and make use of the function each() (http://www.php.net/each ) and count() (http://www.php.net/count )

count() the array and just stop sending emails after 300 Addresses. When successfully reached this goal, continue sending another 300, and so on.

And no: caused by a big lack of time I can't do this for you, sorry

This is a problem - as long your host is not allowing - no chance.

I plan to integrate a sending process which uses stepping. And also the possibility to log sent messages.

Log File is very important while using any newsletter script... especially while sending newsletters for business clients...

I was wondering if anyone had found a resolution for this? I am trying to send out 1200 newsletters. I increased the timeout and the script executes successfully however only 785 emails are sent out. The strange thing is this is the count that is displayed on the status screen. However I did validate that the code looped through all values as I changed the code to sort alphabetically. Any help appreciated!
