Title: Fsock error...
Post by: BGSWebDesign on June 17, 2004, 01:43:53 pm
Hi,

I have not had this problem previously.  Trying to a mailing to a subset of my subscribers - about 7,000 I got this error message:

fsockopen(): unable to connect to mydomain:25 in /myppathtolistmail/admin.php on line 765
could not open socket with fsockopen()

Also I got an error at the bottom of the send screen that said,
Server Said:
[configuration]

With a  button, when I clicked on the button the error above
showed up.

What's going on here?   Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thank you,
-Brett

It's possible your web host's email server stopped answering temporarily.  Is it still happening?

Sending error. Check your mail settings.



This is happening quite regularly when sending emails out. I have to resume every 1000-7000 or so emails.

This could happen if your host has reached the SMTP connection limit in the middle of your email, when ListMail tries to reconnect.

Try setting your "Reconnect every X emails" SMTP option to a higher setting.

Seems that did the trick, I tried everything else including lowering that number thinking it was timing out.

 But when I raised the reconnect every X to 5,000 it seemed to go through the list without a hitch.

sorry I didn't post my possible solution here sooner.
