Send Mass Emails Using the Mailqueue System · **Released**: 02-17-2007

Send Mass Emails Using the Mailqueue System 1.0

I recently changed where I send emails for my forum from. I had been using by server and now switched to an outside place. I found that sending a mass email would take FOREVER since it would take a few seconds per email it had to send out.

I had my vb setting of "Use Mailqueue System" set to 'Yes' but I realized it was NOT using the queue.

I found the way to enable the queue and sending mass emails takes me just a few seconds now! (This hack makes sending emails from your own server much faster also.)

This hack enables the vb queue only if you have 'Use Mailqueue System' turned on. Sending mass emails will take you a few seconds instead of minutes of hours!

Installation:

Open file 'admincp/email.php'.

Search for:

PHP Code:


			
vbmail($user['email'], $vbulletin->GPC['subject'], $sendmessage, true, $vbulletin->GPC['from']);

CHANGE it to:

PHP Code:


			
vbmail($user['email'], $vbulletin->GPC['subject'], $sendmessage, false, $vbulletin->GPC['from']);

Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL!
You will get an email when a new version is released.

I have no idea if it would work with it or not.

Make sure you did the edit 100% correct. You may have added or deleted something extra.

Abe1, I've just installed it, thank you. I'll be testing it soon. Should I have to modify any of my settings in my admincp ?

Just make sure you use the setting on how to sends emails is set to use the queue.

No clue.

Or maybe, because they dont think you want mass email clogging the queue.

WOW, used it today, e-mail sent to over 2000 members in about 2 seconds, thank you very much

Very nice that this is compatible with sending html emails via AdminCP! Great share!
Now I have a stoopid question: My vB isn't set to use the Mailqueue System --- Do I need this set to "Yes" before this hack works?

Anyway - Thanx = Very useful mod! = INSTALLED

Jacquii.
