Followup Message Not Send

[jyigroup]

I have set up my list mail account, and also followup message.

Everything seems to be fine, the double opt in confirmation is also working.
but the followup message are not sending.

I have study the online helps, but still not able to understand why it is not sending.

Kindly give me some advices on this matter, did I miss out something?

Thanks

First, check that the cron task timing is set correctly for once per day.

After that, the most common cause of this is that the host has disabled the "/usr/bin/wget" program used by ListMail.  Thankfully, some alternatives are available, mentioned here.

If you would rather not get your hands dirty, you could ask your host about the command-line they recommend for "browsing to a web page each day".

I have check with my hosting they never disable the "/usr/bin/wget" program used by ListMail.

I also try to do the cron stuff you mention, I added *** in it.

But my followmail is still not sending, is there any thing i can do to make it work.

And one more thing, i everything is ok. How shall I set for immediate follow email?

Thanks

With the cron task (help page here) you have two elements, the timing and the command-line.

The timing, from the help is the 0 0 * * * part.  25 0 * * * would mean every day at 12:25am.  Your host may allow you to enter it directly as shown or you might have to choose the minute, hour, days, etc. from drop-downs.

Unless your host allows you to enter an "advanced" line including the timing as shown in the help, the command-line should not contain *'s or numbers and should instead look like this:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!
