Because of the way vBulletin handles cron jobs, the extact times that any cron job runs will vary (since it requires a page load to trigger the cron job).

Check how it's scheduled currently in "Scheduled Tasks". I have mine set to run as follows:

i.e., every hour, every day of the month, at HH:37. I also have the number of emails sent out at a time set low (3), although for an initial run through the database I had it set a bit higher (I think 10).

That seems to work well for me.

Ahhh, i think i'm with you, it's currently not scheduled in Scheduled Task Manager, all the fields are asterisks (*), that's how it was after i installed it. Does this mean the cron job is running everytime a page is loaded? It'd would be wise to set it up like you have yourself then?

Yes. As it is now, your task runs every minute of every hour of every day - that's way too frequently.

Ahha! Thank you very much for the help! I wondered why it was running so randomly. I've set it to run once a day, that should be fine for a small forum like mine.

Thanks again :)

Ok I installed this Mod a while ago and have updated it as it comes out! It is working and the only problem I am having is that the emails are being sent from unknownsender@unknowndomain. because of this I do believe it is going into peoples spam folders and or getting deleted and I am not having the effect of the users coming back to the site like everyone else.

is there anyway for me to change from what email it gets sent from?

Thanks for a great product!

It uses whatever address it finds in Admin CP | vBulletin Options | vBulletin Options | Site Name / URL / Contact Details.

Scroll down to:

and check that you have a valid email address in there.

I do have the same problem and checked the settings.

All the fields are filled up properly.

I checked it and my address is valid there. still having the same issue.

Thanks

Where and when do you see that email address? Is this only seen on returned/bounced emails?

I created a username for this mod and it goes to one of my emails

Thanks
