Ok THanks.

It might be normal but it doesn't work on my system. It took a few hours last time and it was stuck.:-(

I do not know why, but it finally appeared.

Now my question is why does it do this? Do you have a solution? If not then the software is not useful for me and I will have to return it, if this is possible. :-( 

Looks like the system does not work for me.   

Is there a place in the database I can see which email was sent. I would like to export them to see to whom the newsletter was sent to and find duplicates, because through the list  I have seen that a few have been sent twice.  ( I don't want to manually check 40 pages. ;-)

I have seen a few user list through phpmyadmin like this one, newslist_11_03_15_12_49_03, but those that I see are only test runs that I made and contain only the few emails that I use to test the newsletter.

It looks like the last table used is no where to be found.

I think something is wrong with my version.


I made one test. I sent one small newsletter to only one person. I received the email ok, but the system was still computing after a few minutes ( 3 to 5)

Here are a few snapshots.

Hope this helps you find the problem. 

Ok Thanks.

Just to be able to compare, how long does it take to send 8500  newsletters of  1 1/2 page news with one logo, one or two really small pictures and maybe 5 or 6 links?

Is there something that I can do on the server side to make it faster?

Thanks

Next week I will be sending my members the first newsletter. At that point I will have imported more then 8 000 members.

To make sure that everything goes well, Any best practices that I should follow to make sure that the newsletter is properly sent and completely delivered?

Also, I will personalize the newsletter with their username. I use a VPS service. How long will it take to process. Are their some  tweaks to my VPs that I should make to make for a faster delivery?

Thanks

Ok. I resent the message.

I did what you told me to do when there was a message. I refresh the page.

Here are my observations.

Although I have only 480 members, the system sent more then 761 emails.

I have stop refreshing the page because I realized when I went into the list and click on the newsletter that I was sending, there were 1463 emails. :-(

Also, it took more than 1 hour and 30 minutes to send these emails. Is this normal?
