Never mind, I figured it out (scheduled task manager) and it is running beautifully, thank you very much as I really needed this!

One more question though, how do you view your mail queue?

Cheers

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.

wii 07-16-2008 06:32 AM

Yeah, I will contact my host again about this.

dtommy79 07-17-2008 12:39 PM

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.

StonePilot 07-23-2008 08:32 PM

Looks like it's working properly for me, my VPS has the emails shut down pretty tight so this is great!

Where is this shown in the ACP? I've got 7500 emails to send out.

Paul M 07-24-2008 01:07 AM

On the main index page, above the Administrator Notes.

yahoooh 07-26-2008 05:54 PM

FLASHYAN 07-27-2008 07:05 AM

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1217145516

how to abort or Cancel this Process when i want ??:)

jw00dy 07-28-2008 05:09 AM

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...

For some reason it doesn't want to send emails. For days now I have this message above admin notes.

There are currently 769 unsent emails remaining in the mail queue.

HI

When trying to install the mod, I'm getting this error:

How do I fix this?

That would work fine.

Thanks paul.

E-Mail Send Delay

Is this out of que? or into.

As I set this to 1 and it seems like it was 1 second for each to go into que? If so what is the benefit of this?

Its the ACP > Users > Send Email to Users.

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)?

i.s.s.w 08-19-2008 06:41 AM

thank Paul M

i am testing good

yahoooh 08-20-2008 01:50 AM

after install this product some e-mail not show the bburl option correctly
like: $vboptions[bbtitle] , $vboptions[bburl]

Paul M 08-20-2008 11:08 PM

This does not alter the content of e-mails.

txspaderz 08-22-2008 05:39 AM

Marked as Installed. Thanks for this great add-on!!!!

Chimpie 08-24-2008 10:23 PM

Just want to add a thank you to this thread. This mod is working out nicely.

:thumbsup:

My forum has around a thousand members and I have two crons set up for this. I send out 10 emails every 5 minutes. This shouldn't raise any flags with any ISPs.

StonePilot 08-26-2008 07:25 AM

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.

Paul M 08-26-2008 09:59 AM

Set all the options in the vb cron to "*" and it should run the cron once a minute.

mayanks 08-31-2008 06:42 PM

Hi Paul,

Could you please let me know if these settings are fine ? i have 18K+ members on my board

Thanks

Chimpie 09-01-2008 02:11 AM

For those who have upgraded to vB v3.7.3 remember to update the associated php files.
:(

len backus 09-11-2008 03:48 PM

Do I need to first uninstall Version 1.12?

Paul M 09-11-2008 04:38 PM

You dont need to, you can just install this over the top of the old version. Your choice. :)

len backus 09-11-2008 04:47 PM

Paul, thanks. Do I need to do the file edits again or just upload the xml file?

Paul M 09-11-2008 06:25 PM

Check the edits, afaik they are the same.

len backus 09-13-2008 10:14 AM

Paul, After upgrade I now show 2 copies of Mailque Quick Stats in my Admin CP. ??

pmcnamara 09-24-2008 11:07 AM

I'm confused about the cron job.. what command am I asking it to run ?

420 09-25-2008 07:24 AM

i have v3.7.003 with vb 3.73 pl1

how do i tell how many seconds the delay is set for?

i had a programmer install it then went mia.

i was able to send out ten thousand emails an hour before loading this, now i can only send out about a thousand per hour, i think this may be why... is it possible?

thanks for your valuable time and support!

Paul M 09-25-2008 11:53 AM

The delay is a setting in the vb options for this mod, simply check what its set to.

420 09-25-2008 10:59 PM

is this the code to change from 10 seconds to 1 second? < 10) to < 1)?

<removed>

420 09-25-2008 11:01 PM

and does this work on 3.73 pl1?
