View Full Version : Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Cron Based E-Mail Sending
Paul M
01-07-2008, 10:00 PM
This modification is no longer available or supported.
In default vBulletin if you send a large number of e-mails, vbulletin either puts them in it's queue and then attempts to send them as each user visits a page, or just simply tries to send them straight away (This is the case when you use the Administrators email users inteface).
As a result of this your server can become seriously overloaded very quickly - so sending several thousand e-mails (like a newsletter) can become very difficult (hours spent clicking 'next' in the ACP) - as a result of these problems, this very simple modification was born.
This modification does two things ;
1. E-mails from the ACP inteface are sent to the mail queue, not straight to the mail system.
2. The processing of the mail queue is set-up as a vb cron item.
Obviously for this to work, you must turn on e-mail queuing in the ACP options - set 'Use Mailqueue System' to 'Yes', and 'Number of Emails to Send Per Batch' to a realistic value (based on the cron setting, as below).
There are two realisitc options for the cron job, you can either set it to run every minute, and set the items to be processed to something small (like 10), or you can do what this modification does by default and set it to run every 10 minutes, and set the items to be processed to something larger (like 100).
Remember, 10 per minute = 600 per hour, 100 per 10 minutes is also 600 per hour. The numbers really depend on how quick you want large queues processed, and how much your mail server can handle in one go.
Once working, when using the ACP mail users inteface, remember you can set it to process 9999 at once (not 500 or whatever) as the mails will now go into the queue, not be sent directly.
Note: This modification will affect any queued e-mails such as subscription e-mails. It will not affect registration e-mails as they bypass queuing anyway.
This modification includes the code by Antivirus (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=64660) that displays the current size of the mail queue (v3.7.002 onwards).
Version 3.7.003 has the option to add a small delay before each e-mail is sent (between 1 and 9 seconds). Use this option carefully.
History:
v3.7.001 : First Release for vB 3.7
v3.7.002 : Added mail queue size display code.
v3.7.003 : Added option for a delay between the sending of each e-mail.

Ps even though it said it failed i think the emails still sent out because the Mailqueue Quick Stats went from around 950 to this

Paul M

You obviously have a fairly low mysql timeout, so if you try and send too many emails in one go, your database connection is timing out before they have all been sent.
webgeek247
04-19-2008, 02:15 PM
Well I sent 167 on one of my other sites which is hosted on the djpassion account as a addon domain and they all sent successfully so I dont think its a mysql problem. I did change the schedule times around a little invbulletin which I think fixed it though. It didnt seem to work when set to send all emails everyday. But once I figured out how to change it to 1 hour I think it sorted it. I also took the limit down from 250 to 100 and they all seem to be sending ok. Like when I check back every hour 100 more have sent so I guess its working ok now...? If so thanks to you so much for this hack and to Antivirus for his little addition
.makes life much easier.
cheers chris
Thank you, it works beautifully :D
I also see that my server is faster ^_^
thanks.
Thanks for this product. I have some questions though:
I have in the ACP under email options:
Email Flood Check: 0
Number of Emails to Send Per Batch: 25
Then the cron is setup to run every 10 minutes.
What does the floodcheck do? Does it interfere with this addon?
Where can I see the number of unsent messages in the cron queue (antivirus addon)?
On the end of your first post you say:Once working, when using the ACP mail users inteface, remember you can set it to process 9999 at once (not 500 or whatever) as the mails will now go into the queue, not be sent directly. .
I don't understand this part. First we have to set a number in the 'email'-option in the ACP (like 25), and then (when?) it can be safely set to a high number?
Paul M
05-06-2008, 04:22 PM
Flood check is not part of this mod.
The ACP mail inteface is when you mass email users via the ACP, not the Emails per batch option, totally different thing.
so this current setting is right? If so, when can this '25' be changed to '9999'?
Paul M
05-06-2008, 06:39 PM
It cant, like I said, its nothing to do with that.
Its the ACP > Users > Send Email to Users.
My host has this limit:
Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes
1. Would that be a problem ? Since I´m allowed to send 500 mails an hour
2. Mailqueue Quick Stats should be the total number of mails, right ?
3. How do I set the time interval - how many mails to send out a minute ?
4. Can I delete a Mailqueue once it started ?
Thanks

I was wondering though, where do I have to go to see the amount of emails that are left to be sent ?
Thanks

The update works fine, but very slow, since my host requires me to set it to throttle it at least every 6 seconds, now the email manager take forever to get the mails out.
Paul M
07-15-2008, 07:20 PM
Six seconds is a ridiculous amount of time, it *will* run slowly.
Yeah, I will contact my host again about this.

Hi,
It may be a dull question, but how can I use it?
I have to enable Mailqueue System and set the "Number of Emails to Send Per Batch" option and that's it?
And also on my host I have a 200 emails/hour limit, I have around 1000 members. What's the best settings for me?
thanks for the help
Paul M
07-17-2008, 03:17 PM
Once its installed, yes, you just enable the queue system and set the number - in your case you should set it to 30. (30 x 6 = 180 per hour).

Hi,
I enabled and set the number, but I think it's not doing what it supposed to.
When I try to check the logs it says there is no result. The logging is enabled though.

I'm trying this now, but wanted to know if you had any thoughts on this...
Would their be a problem with creating a second cron (scheduled task) to run every 10 minutes on the 5's (5,15,25,35,45,55) so my queue is processed every 5 minutes instead of every 10?
I think this should work, and the crons do run, but I'm not sure the 2nd one is actually processing email, though I believe it is.
So in short my mail queue processes every 5 minutes instead of every 10. My board is pretty big, and I've had complaints about it taking a long time to get their messages... You know how that goes.
So far so good...

Hey Paul... just seeking some clarification here...
Are you saying that this mod will not affect the Send Email to Users, or will it also work with Send Email to Users?
EDIT:And I'm overlooking the obvious here, but where do we make the change from running the cron every 10 minutes to every 5 minutes (or whatever)?

How to set this to send email out every minute? I made two cron jobs running 0-10-20-30-40-50, and 5-15-25-35-45-55. Even at this, it's taking hours to send emails out. Granted, I have nearly 10,000 emails to ship, maybe I would be better off sending though a third-party email system at this point.

Sends them without any delay, zero is the default and prob fine for 99% of forums.
cool, thanks paul!
i think i found my problem, by the way.
in email settings in vb admin control panel, there is a setting for using smtp for your emails, instead of the web based mail... you are apparently not supposed to enter the user name and password for the email account being used, when the email server and web server share the same infrastructure... (not sure if that is the correct word or not)... when i removed the user name and password, the bottle necking and slowness stopped during email blasts and everything is back to normal... the servers are still hanging for some reason, probably a faulty add on we need to locate, but the email blasts are back to normal...
by the way, i notice i can see the mail queue in vb admin control panel now, is that a feature of vb 3.73 or is that a feature of your add on?
thanks again for your valuable time, energy and support brother!

This modification includes the code by Antivirus that displays the current size of the mail queue (v3.7.002 onwards).

You need to check the edit you made to functions.php - you have made a mistake in it.

I just went into my admin control panel and saw 10 emails in queue, yet I had not sent any. Is there a way to see which member is emailing people?

Try looking in the email queue table (mysql).

I randomly check the queue and I see emails waiting to send. I think my registration emails are some how getting caught up. Is this possible?
Paul M
11-20-2008, 10:30 AM
They are most likely subscription emails. Registration emails are not queued by vb afaik.

Note: This modification will affect any queued e-mails such as subscription e-mails. It will not affect registration e-mails as they bypass queuing anyway.
This is not working 4 me. I looked up in the database and could see that every email is in the queue. Activation-emails, registration email :-(
How can i solve this problem?

Just installed it. I'm wondering, do I have to go to cpanel and create the cron job for this to function? :)..
Can't seem to find the option to edit the number of emails to send / batch in cron, and the per minute settings.
Paul M
12-18-2008, 08:53 AM
This runs via the vb cron system, not cpanel.

Can someone please help me with this one? I've read through this whole thread twice and I'm still a little confused on how many emails will be sent per hour.
Here's what I have setup....
Number of Emails to Send Per Batch=8
E-Mail Send Delay=0
When I sent the mass email..... Email to send at once: I set at 100
*Scheduled Task Manager*
Days of the week=*
Day of the month=*
Hour=*
Minute=0,10,20,30,40,50
EDIT:
If I understand this correctly.......I'm beginning to believe that the amount of "Email to send at once" is irrelevant with this mod. One could have it set really to any amount. I've been watching and it seems that 8 emails are being sent every 10 min.
If someone could verify everything above....I'd appreciate it!

You have everything correct.

You have everything correct.
Perfect! Thanks for verifying. My host allows 500 emails per hour, so I guess that I can just tweak the "Number of Emails to Send Per Batch" up to get them out faster.
Paul M
01-06-2009, 03:39 PM
Yes, you can set it to 80 (6 x 80 = 480 per hour).

Paul,
One thing that I've noticed though now is that for those including myself who want to get emailed on PM's received or new registrants....I'm now not getting those immediately like before.
Is there a work around to this or it is what it is?
Paul M
01-06-2009, 05:26 PM
That is how vb is designed, new registration emails are not queued, I'm surprised PM notifications arent tho.

Yes I know registration emails aren't queued, but my email notification of their registry is along with the email that I receive when someone sends me a PM. That's what I was wondering if there is a work around for. Prior to this mod install, I received those instantly....now they lag.
Just curious.

I've installed this mod.
If i want to send upto 1000 email per hour, then what to do?
If i send emails to all my users via admincp, they will be queued too or not?
Thanks.
