i want to know whether u need to leave ur brower [acp] on until all emails sent out like the phplist does or queueing is going to server side?? i need to know b4 installing . if so i will continue to use phplist... thanx paul for the mod

Please clarify your question.

not much to clarify... as it says "do i need to leave the email sending interface of acp open [ simply browser] until all emails sent out [ or until job finish] or will it stop if i close browser? . can i move on when all emails sent to queue ,confirmed in acp[ i suppose as i havent tested yet]

edit : i installed n cleared myself .

mailque in acp says 3,761 in queue. i sent mails yesterday around same time... total members 4600+ . but when sent all mail queue was below 4000 [ it was about 3900+ as far a i remember], i donno where is other 600-700 mails? may be banned n other etc. scheduled task[cron] for mailque seem to be not running every 10 mts.. my batch setting is 30 . delay 0 [ i changed to 1 now to see - no effect , may be mails already in queue]. but number reduced by 30 when i ran sch.task manually.. diagnotic email tested n working..

Again, I dont follow what your actual question is ?

actual question is why mailque still 3700+ even after 48 hours[now] when set to send 180 email/hour??.. or this mod send emails only if that member visit forum.
..

Since any answer to that question would require access to your server and ACP to see how its set-up and working, I cannot answer it.

if u tell me what info related to server n acp needed i can provide you... below is scheduled task log...as per log it seems running 2-3 times a day only.. setting are default 10 ,20, 30,40 etc...

Unfortunately I cant view that from work (they block tinypic) so I'll look later. Initially I think i'd only need ACP access if you want to PM me an admin login with full access.

The picture above confirms what I found from the access you gave me. Your problem is that your site is not busy enough to keep the vb cron system running - it needs regular visitors (not spiders) to keep it running. As you can see from you picture, its only managing to run the schedule very sporadically (about once an hour in the day, hardly at all at night).

About the only thing you can do is increase the batch size, so at least when it does run, it processes more. Try something like 200.
