Problem sending follow up emails
« on: July 18, 2006, 09:04:27 am »
Hi,

I think I've set up everything properly, but my follow up emails don't seem to be going out as planned - The welcome email goes out fine, and I've set the follow up to go out after 24 hours [I set it to 0] ... I got my welcome email a little over 25 hours ago but nothing since.4

Does anyone have any idea what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Richard

Problem sending follow up emails

Were you able to set up the "dailymail cron job" required to automatically send the followups?  If enabled on the Configuration page, you should receive a "Dailymail Report' when the task runs each day.

Here's the help page:
http://listmailpro.com/help/dailymail_cron.html

It's possible the "/usr/bin/wget" program used by the task is not available on your server.  A popular alternative, curl, might be tried:
Code: [Select]
0 0 * * * curl -o /dev/null http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
If you still can't get it to work I recommend asking your host to help.  Mention that you would like to "browse" to a web page each day and provide your dailymail URL, ie:
Code: [Select]
http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass
