Title: bounce processing multiple times per day?
Post by: auto on September 17, 2006, 05:43:09 am

Dean,

Is there any way to process bounced messages multiple times per day, on a cron job, without doing the full-blown dailymail?

thanks
Tara

This has never been tried before but theoretically you could set up a task to load the following URL:

http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YOURPASS&nolastran=1&nomaint=1&noscfup=1&nosched=1&nofups=1&noremind=1

Cron timing for every 3 hours would be:

0 */3 * * *

Regards

Thanks Dean,

This seems to be working, but is there any way to supress the dailymail report?

I've ran into two other issues...

One is that if someone is Unconfirmed, they are still apparently getting confirmation reminders even though the checkbox to send them is unchecked, or in the case of the direct url "noremind" is set to 1.

The second issue, is that the unsubscribe on the confirmation reminders appears to be broken.  If they sign up for the list, but then don't opt in for the confirm, they should be able to unsubscribe from the confirmation reminder.

Thoughts?

There is not currently a way to skip sending the report.  I will add this to my notes..  For a hack you could make a change to dailymail.php on this line:

Code: [Select]

   mail($admmail,$subj,$report,$header);
We could skip the report if "$nomaint" is not set, for example.

Code: [Select]

   if(!$nomaint) mail($admmail,$subj,$report,$header);
This should mean the report is only sent when a full standard scheduled dailymail is executed.

I will check into this right away.  I might have a solution this evening.

Most people do not include a remove link in their confirmation messages but I do see the usefulness of such ability.  I will see what I can do about this, too.

I run across this whenever someone signs up a different person for my program who didn't actually request to join.  Then they get the confirmation reminders and think that they are spam because the unsubscribe link doesn't work.

I haven't been able to recreate this problem.  Dailymail should only send try to send reminders to lists with the reminder option enabled:

Code: [Select]

  $rows = mysql_query("select listnum,remopts from $ltable where remact = '1';");
$noremind also seems to be working.  Are you on the most recent update v1.87d?

I have added this as a feature.  Here's how to put it in early:
In rem.php change ALL instances of:

Code: [Select]

cnf = '1'
to:

Code: [Select]

(cnf = '1' or cnf = '0')
A quick search & replace should work great.

For reference, if you add this to cron, you better be sure to escape all & with \& or it will break the script.

Mine is set up as:

*/5 * * * *     root    /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://www.example.com/list/dailymail.php?pw=YOURPASS\&nolastran=1\&nomaint=1\&noscfup=1\&nosched=1\&nofups=1\&noremind=1 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
