Hello,

I scheduled 7000 mails to go out, 50 at a time every 10 minutes. It sent quite a few (I don't know how many) and then the scheduler started erroring on every task, so I disabled it.

So - are the mails still queued? How do I fix the errors and keep sending the newsletters?

The error on the scheduler history is:

Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters,Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail Distributing newsletter - PokerDIY August Newsletter Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Opt in Email Exception: Failed to send mail: This is typically related to your SMTP settings but see Log Viewer for more details. at Dataspring.DNN.Modules.OptInAdvanceEmail.SendNewsletters.SendNewsletters() Schedule Ran Successfully

Ok, I updated my install with the latest you sent me (note, I am not using the OptIn part of the module, only the Advanced Mailer).

I changed the Scheduler and restarted it - this is the part I am unclear about - I assume the other 3000 mails are still queued in a table to go out?

If I view the Scheduler history it immediately (run on start) shows 9 errors. If I view my Event Log it also shows 9 errors (see below).

This is the odd bit - I checked the Previous Mails and it shows that another 100 were sent (it was on 4500, now it's on 4600). This is odd as it is set to only send 50 maximum.

I can try and send it to 1 person but I am not sure if it is the same emails that are failing each time or if it is trying to send to a person and then failing and erasing them from the queue. When I tried to export some users I noticed strange characters in the some of the email addresses - perhaps this is causing the error and the majority are working but it's queuing up the errored ones and keep trying to send them on each cycle (this would explain why the errors started at 1 and are now on 9 - maybe there are 9 dodgy emails that are in the queue still)
