sending email to a couple of groups I am getting this message



------ START CODE ------
Warning: E_USER_WARNING [ 512 ] Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: recipients_failedBUNCH OF VALID EMAIL ADDRESSES, mwy in ...lib/functions.php at line: 565
------ END CODE ------




the string of email addresses in the error message starts about halfway through the group.  Each group contains about 100 members.  The email log indicates the email was sent to those addresses in the error message as well as everyone else in that group.

Any ideas.

It's possible that only one of them failed to be sent but ou got the complete list. ..Are you using sendmail or smtp?
jimlongo - January 26th, 2007 17:44 GMT


SMTP 

Update it is happening on all my boards now . . . any group except Administrators (which is only 2 addresses)
It is happening on groups as small as 48.

I am in contact with my webhosting provider.
I think they have instituted a new policy which requires then to place the outgoing email address on a whitelist.

I will let you know the conclusion.

thanks

Just as a follow up, my provider has instituted a limit of 25 emails per SMTP session.  I have checked with other major providers and nearly all of them are now placing limits on the size of groups, or number per hour of emails that they will allow. 
This could severely limit the effectiveness of any large mail lists from any forum software.

Of course they have done this to limit spammers who are using their networks, so it is understandable in a way.

As for me i have decided to use EZMLM which my provider offers for the purposes of email lists to my forum groups. 

Kinda sucks, but you can see that email is really being hampered by spammers.

Our code can be modified to take that into account.   I will look things up and see what can be done... No promisses on the timetable tough...

That would be great if you can, because even though I can overcome the broadcast mail problem, this policy makes New forums (which I would like to rely heavily on) quite obsolete.

thanks,
jim

So then it would be admin selectable on how many emails are sent at a time, depending on the hosts limits I take it?
Camil - February 01st, 2007 21:19 GMT


Yes. 

The modifications need to be done in the functions.php module. It's not hard to do but another release is needed before it's implemented. It will also add some overhead to the system tough...

I'm also getting this error message.

I've tried:
- SENDMAIL. The return msg is "successfully", however no email was really sent. However, using "email this member" from Profile View would work (??)  

- SMTP (localhost), this message appears.


I just had to use the Send Email feature from my Ikonboard to broadcast the message, and it worked.  

From my phpinfo, these are the only lines regarding the 2 methods:



------ START CODE ------
 
sendmail_from no value no value
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i



SMTP localhost localhost
smtp_port 25 25

------ END CODE ------




PS: If it helps any, I'm on my own VPS server. Perhaps there's some service I need to start?

Please help,

If your using ICT 1.0 I would suggest you update to 1.1. Numerous fixes have been made to 1.0 on the mail system. You can also then update to 1.11 to get some more fixes on it with this: http://www.infinitecore.com/index.php?threadid=1378&page=1#post_11608

Apparently after messing around with Email setup, i've come back to SMTP / localhost / no username/password. and it seems working now

One thing still bugs me though, whenever u try to send out an email to multiple users, and if there's an error with one of them emails, it shows the error. Can we skip the prolematic errors, but still send to the others? The problematic will be kept / shown only in Error Log?

Just my 2cents,
Camil - November 03rd, 2008 12:08 GMT


It should have send them all except for the ones that are not working. Maybe once the mail server detects and error it crashes and stops sending... I will look that up tonight and see what can be done.
