Mailing stalling around 1000

[boundless]

I've mentioned this before, but mail is continually stalling anywhere from 900-1300. I'm constantly having to "Resume".

I'm most definitely waiting long enough. Sometimes it's several hours before I catch it, and I'm sending at midnight, central time.

For example, I'm (still) in the process of mailing out to 10,000+ folks and I have to resume EVERY 900!

What are some of the things that cause this?

Bob,

I recently made an SMTP bug fix.  Please replace your files with the latest from the members area and let me know if you continue to have troubles.

You may also need to decrease the value of the SMTP option "Reconnect every X emails".

Well, I updated the admin file, and now it sends 1800 - THEN stops. I've lowered the reconnect value to 850, but it doesn't really seem to do anything when it reaches that number...

And scheduled mail still isn't sending at all.

ListMail won't tell you when it reconnects...  Is it still stalling with the lower setting?  In the past, has it always stalled at the same number?  If so, it seems like a messages-per-connection limit.  If not, there might be a miscommunication in SMTP.  The only way for me to test SMTP is with direct access and an active queue I can resume.

Hi there-

I am experiencing the same issue. SMTP is stopping every 1000 and needs to be resumed. I tried decreasing the reconnect down to 850 or so but that didn't do the trick. I've tried various combinations on the AUTH etc...

I noticed that DW posted an SMTP "bugfix" in the previous post, but the link is no longer valid. Is the bugfix still necessary? If so, where can I pick it up? Or...was it incorporated into LM1.83 just released?

As of now I am only able to send via the php option.

Any suggestions..??

Thanks,

Andrew

The latest SMTP bug fixes are available in the latest files.  What you should do is enable the SMTP debug log by changing this line in admin.php:

Code: [Select]

// debug, shows SMTP messages
 // $smtp_debug = '1';
to

Code: [Select]

// debug, shows SMTP messages
$smtp_debug = '1';

SMTP logs will be written to the ./attach folder.  Once you've done a mailing and had it stall, let me know your installation info (here) and I'll check it out.

DW-

That's great. And we you can test with an open queue of 45K plus.
I'll stop the mailing, set things up and hand over the keys. Maybe we'll learn something.

Thanks,
Andrew
