Couple of questions - couple of problems

[endomorph]

1. If I send a message through SMF's "News And Newsletters", does this email go through NLP too. I assume it does as I can see the sent message in NLP reports

2. If I send a message through SMF's "News And Newsletters", does this filter out against NLP Un-subscribe list

3. I am having problems sending a scheduled newsletter. Once the send time has passed, the site will "freeze for 5-10 minutes and then only a small portion of the total number of emails appear in the NLP reports. I am sending out around 7600 emails, but I can have anything between 500 and 1500 show in the reports.

1. Yes if you use news and newsletters it will be in NLP reportS
2. Yes it will filter against unsubscribe list.

3. For the scheduled newsletter are you using a cron job? Also what SMF version, along with what happens when it freezes. Site is locked up while sending? Any errors logged in the forum error log that might be related.
