| Description | Hi,
Site - vwgolfmk1.org.uk I have been using the Send a Newsletter facility quite often to construct a newsletter and send it out immediately - it has worked fine before. Yesterday I built a new Newsletter and sent it out to several Usergroups, totalling about 5500 users. The preview worked well and I received the Newsletter - all good. So I got it to send, it took about 15 minutes to return to the sending webpage (this is a lot longer than previous Newsletters that I have sent out to a similar audience). It then said that the Newsletter would be sent over a period of time. This morning I expected several key users to tell me that the had received the Newsletter, none of them have - and I have confirmed that as well. So where are the Newsletters going ? I re-created the Newsletter this morning (that is not easy either, as it is not stored in a re-sedable format) and tried again, same as above and no Newsletters received :-( Would appreciate if someone could take a look to see what is going wrong. Cheers Ade |

The settings can be adjusted by some hidden options in Commandr:
:set_value('mails_per_send','123');
where 123 is the number of emails per cycle.
However, if an email sends out very quickly, it is very likely your hosting company could block your service - even if they don't want to, they often feel compelled to have harsh policies as heavy emailers have resulted in data centres being put on spam lists in the past.
Where would I look to see the queue ?
How do I see the newsletter queue ? Is it not exposed in a GUI ?
Cheers
