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

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

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.

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.

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,

I will look things up and see what can be done... No promisses on the timetable tough... So then it would be admin selectable on how many emails are sent at a time, depending on the hosts limits I take it?

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:

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

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

Please help,
