My bad. I wrongly assumed that the xml file change had to do with the original file, not the one amended to this thread.

Yes, it installs, it appears to work as usual, it creates the html email, and it "sends". But, unfortunately, the email never gets out (never receive it). Running the commbull task does not cause the email to send; vbulletin has no problem sending out test emails.

Get this jibberish when the commbull task is run:

commbull_newsletter_send_task

Not sure what's going on; had always worked great on the 3.x series. Did something change mail wise with this and 4.x? Checked the email settings in options as suggested above, everything looks fine. (not using smtp, using php for mail, and it works for vbulletin tests. Do I need to use smtp mail for commbull??? This worked for as long as it existed, on my server, something happened with the 4 series. )
