Sending mail messages

We send out a newsletter 3x per week to 20,000+ members of
the association. CFMAIL tag is used to insert personal info for the
member in the newsletter and messages are correctly written to
spool folder.
We have noticed timeouts occurring in other applications
while the messages are being sent out.
Currently number of mail threads is set to 10. We are also
logging each message sent as occasionally we need to verify if the
mail was sent to the email we have on record.
Has anyone experienced system performance problems when
sending thousands of emails?
We also notice all log files are written to logs folder and
runtime folder. Is there a way to only log to 1 of these folders?
Thanks for your help.
Pam

There is a lot of processing going on, not to mention drive
activity and memory allocations. If you don't have a big system
then sending large quantities of email via CFMAIL will have an
effect until it is done.
We had a similar issue years ago (we run 32,000+ mailers
daily) and decided it was just simpler to build a second small
server to just run the mailers each day so it did not affect the
primary server. Unless you want to build a honking massive
powerhouse, that is likely the answer that will best suit you too.

  • SMTP send mail message

    SMTP send mail message is giving 'unkown mime version' error(error code 16500). The same mail server works when sending by Netscape mail.Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    There seem to be a bug in the OGIC_POP.llb\OGIC_POP_ListMessages.vi.
    Or at least it needs customization to process the response from each mail server. If you open the diagram for this VI, you'll see that it is using the "+OK\s" regular expression to reach the end of the string before the msg-number, msg-size list. In your case, this string is "+OK 5 messages (6190 octets)"
    You need to modify the diagram to skip this whole string. One easy way would be to use just "+OK" with the first Match Pattern fuinction and then use an "\r\n" and pass this to the true-case.
    I am attaching a screenshot of this. And I have tested this to work fine -- I get the messages in the array.
    Hope this helps,
    Khalid

  • Write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]:

    Hi ,
    I am getting the below error when scheduling a report which is larger in size in excel format.
    write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]  
    The same error does not come up when sending the same report in XLS format using outlook.
    Can some one confirm if this error is because of the size of the report as I see a different error in XIR2 incase the size the exceeds the email server limit.
    ~Neethi

    Hi,
    this could be
    Maybe you have different limits for service smtp account (which the BO Server should use) and User smtp accounts.
    Thats why you can sent it via outlook and not from the BO Server.
    Regards

  • Write error. [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]: [Error sending mail message to SMTP

    Hi,
    The below error messgage i am getting while scheduling report in CMC. My report getting refreshed successfully but while posting refreshed file(Excel) it is not posting and throwing below error.
    Error Message:
    write error. [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]: [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]
    please provide some help on this.
    Thanks

    Hi Vivek
    Mails to the destinations are delievered by SMTP server. Size of the file in the mail depends on the SMTP server.
    For example, If SMTP server does not permit file size more than 2MB then that file won't be delievered.
    For testing purpose copy the instance generated in Filestore to your local drive and send this instance using your mail client to
    desired destination.
    You can try sending large size file from your mail client to test SMTP server capacity of sending large size file.
    Thanks,

  • Reading send mail messages send via system

    I have some programmes that send mail messages to people automatically bypassing the mail programme.
    Is there a way to see what has been send? Like read the send messages?
    And delete them?
    Probably a command in Terminal but I do not know what to type.
    Thanks

    for phlink, i just found this in their faq:
    Q: I do not receive voicemail messages by email. Why?
    A: Make sure the name of your SMTP server is correctly set in the Phlink's preferences window. The SMTP server you should use is the same SMTP server you use for your ordinary email, as set in your email client application. If your SMTP server requires authentication, make sure you have entered the correct username and password in Phlink's preferences window.
    so there may be no trace of messages sent. it seems to act as a client, sending mail through your designated smtp server.
    also, it saves a log in ~/Library/Preferences. for details, check this thread:

  • Sending Mail- Messages Errors

    My mail was working fine and then suddenly I get error messages saying "The message could not be delivered and will remain in your outbox until it can be delivered. The server "smtp.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 25."
    The message never gets delivered and sits in my outbox! What can i do? I have mail version 2.1 . Maybe I downloaded a new version of mail? I have no idea.
    Can you help?
    Lee

    Your ISP may have started blocking port 25 as an anti-spam measure. You will need to change the port you using to send mail. Try port 2626 or 587 instead.
    To change the port in Mail:
    Mail > System Preferences > Accounts > (choose the email account you need to change the port on) > Advanced
    The port setting is at the bottom of the Advanced tab window.

  • Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) Slow to Send Mail Messages

    Apple Mail 7.1 delays the sending of messages from iCloud or third-party ISP mail accounts by 20 to 30 seconds. While this behavior is not 100% consistent, it is reproducible 70% of the time.
    Restarts or quit & relaunch Mail.app has no impact. Apple Mail has had all night to sync my two accounts (1 iCloud account and 1 third-party ISP account)
    No error messages are thrown, all mail does send successfully, eventually.
    This problem occurs on both my Apple MacBook Pro 2.7 i7 mid– 2012 and 2.6 Mid-2012. One had a fresh copy of Mavericks installed and the other had an update from Mountain Lion.
    Synchronization has been performed, as well, the rebuild command has been executed.
    The behavior also occured during an attempt to investigate the issue when a Mail account (in this case, a friends iCloud account) was installed into a newly created computer user account (standard or admin)
    Clearly, not the most serious problem to have but one that merits discussion and eventual resolution.

    I am having the same issue with Mail 7.1 (1827).  I have looked at all of the alternatives, but keep coming back to Mail.  Airmail Beta, however, was outstanding.  Write an email click send and it's gone like a rocket!  If they keep developing, they will give Mail a run for the money.
    That said, I like the search abilities in Mail and the smart folders.  I keep coming back.  Plus I like CMD+Shift+D to send.  If I am out at a wifi spot and do an email, I really don't like having to sit there waiting for Mail to decide wether it wants to send or no.  Perhaps I'll look at using alternative smtp ports?  Maybe Mail doesn't like using port 26? Whatever the case, I wish they'd fix it.

  • CANNOT SEND MAIL MESSAGE

    I have two e-mail accounts on my iPhone 4. Occassionally, I get a message that reads "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient (address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying."
    The recipients are always individuals to whom I have sent e-mails in the past with no problem (one was my boss!). After the message sits in the outbox for a while, it's sometime sent with no further problem. Anyone else experiencing something like this? HELP!

    I am also in a similar boat.
    Recently upgraded my phone (iphone4) to iOS 4.1
    Now it only intermittently sends emails over 3G, often just sitting there with the spinny wheel and saying 'Sending' for ages, but is fine over wifi. Including wifi provided by my service provider, Vodafone, in the UK. SMTP settings match those provided by the provider (and I have even reconfigured my account on the phone to check), so there is no obvious reason for it not to work.
    Anyone else seen this? It feels like the phone is somehow not quite connecting with the server properly and then timing out.

  • Get Cannot Send Mail Message

    Every time I try to send an email from my IPhone I get the following message. "The server rejected one of the recipient's addresses. The message has been placed in your Outbox.". Does anyone know what the cause of this error is? I have verified the email addresses and they are correct. I have no problem receiving and reading email.
    Thank you.

    This means the outgoing mail server for the email account is being blocked.
    Who is the email account provider for the email account?
    Most if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, and AT&T's cellular network is no different in this regard. This restriction is part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client and both email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server. I have a wireless network at home, and both email accounts are not provided by my internet service provider at home. I have no problems sending with either account regardless the internet service provider being used for my internet connection at the time - my wireless network at home, various other wi-fi networks that I have access to with different internet service providers, and when connected to AT&T's cellular network.

  • Gmail - Send Mail/Messages

    Hello,
    WHat is the difference between the Sent Mail Folder and the Sent Messages Folder on my Gmail accounts on my iPhone? I use IMAP.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi, this is how I solved the problem you're describing a long time ago.
    http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
    Basically, this link explains how to configure properly Gmail in Apple Mail and iPhone too.
    Hope it helps, it's easy to understand and follow.
    This other article instead is on my "to read" list since it came out, but I still have to find the time and guts to dive into it. It looks very complete and thorough.

  • The ubiquitous 'cannot send mail' message

    Earthlink is my provider; I checked the e-mail profile in my account and I verified it on my iPhone. Still get the message. This is recent (past week). I receive mail fine. By the way the outgoing mail server is 'smtpauth.earthlink.net'. Any ideas?

    Since no one to date has answered let me tell you what Apple tech support had me do, after having me turn off the main outgoing mail server and turn on the AT&T server, which didn't work. He had me keep the primary outgoing server OFF and turn ON all the other four servers. That worked, but something feels weird about it. Am I wrong? Any downside?

  • TS3899 Unable to send Mail Messages

    hi, I can receive emails but not send them. Help!

    Make sure you have 2 outgoing SMTP servers for your email. one should be your mobile providers outgoing server for ex. (smtp.telus.net)  when on wifi use either your ISP's outgoing or better yet use google's SMTP server.

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Downloaded Mountain Lion. Could no longer send mail messages. Checked my Mail preferences and they were correct. Icalled my ISP and they tried to help make it work by setting some new preferences Did not work. Took Mac Book Pro into  ISP to see if they could remedy the problem. They could not. Still cannot send messages. The only thing I did from when mail could send mail and when it could not was to download Mountain Lion on to both computers. Help!

    Just realised that with the SSL checked in the smtp set up, password authorisation is required and is put in the box immediately under the SSL checkbox, which is under the port(s) being used. Can now send mail:)

  • Send Outgoing Mail Messages not working

    I'm having trouble with a workflow that creates a new mail message, gets specified iCal items, creates a summary text file, attaches to mail message and then sends mail message. Everything is working except the mail message does not get sent. There are no logged error messages. I've experimented with changing up the order of the actions and noticed that when I place "Send Outgoing Messages" directly after "New Mail Message", the message gets sent without a problem. However in order for my workflow to make sense I need to have many intermediary steps before I trigger the send messages action.
    Any clues on this problem. Thanks in advance.
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Cascanuit-
    I'm relatively new to Automator as well and by no means a programmer. It does seem that the iCal actions available are pretty meager. I did a search at www.automatorworld.com and there are a few additional actions but none that call out specific menu items.
    Another way to approach your desired workflow is to create an applescript that selects Export... from the File Menu. I know very little beyond the basics of applescript but I did cobble together the following:
    tell application "iCal" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "iCal"
    set frontmost to true
    click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
    delay 4
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke return
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    Here's the weird part. This script works, but only sporadically. Sometimes it stalls at the selection of the Export button in the dialog box. I have no idea why it sometimes works and other times fails.
    If someone could refine this script to make it bullet proof than you can simply incorporate it as an automator workflow and then save the created export file to another volume or anywhere you like.
    Hope this helps some.

  • Unable to SEND mail using Activesync in Exchange 2010 server on iPhone or Windows Mobile 6.1

    Hi All,
    We've been setting up a new SBS 2011 server for a client this week. Everything is working, except the staff have 4 x iPhones to connect with Exchange ActiveSync.
    There are 2 x iPhone 4's and 2 x iPhone 3Gs's. We can setup the Exchange accounts on each of the phones and they are all able to sync mail and calender etc with the server.
    The problem we have is when any of them try to send mail from the phone, it gives an error : "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message" and it sits in the outbox on the phone.
    The newsgroups and forums are littered with people having issues with IOS4 and Exchange 2010 but most of these are from June-August 2010 when IOS4 version was around 4.00 or 4.01
    A lot of these people had iPhone 3 handsets running with IOS 3.1.3 which worked with Exchange 2010 but when they upgraded to IOS 4, they had this problem sending mail.
    It seems that for most of them, the fix came in the form of IOS version 4.1 which fixed the send issue for them.
    We have a variety of Hansets and IOS versions (including an iPhone 3Gs running IOS 3.1.3) but are unable to send mail from any of them:
    iPhone 3Gs    IOS 3.1.3
    iPhone 3Gs    IOS 4.3.3
    iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.3
    iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.5
    I was surprised that the iPhone 3Gs running 3.1.3 was unable to send either as nearly all the forums etc I read with this issue said the iPhone 3's worked with that IOS version.
    Today we used a test iPhone 4 handset from our office to connect to an almost identical Small Business Server 2011 we setup two weeks ago for another client.
    The test iPhone 4 was able to connect, Sync and Send email on that server but when set it to connect to this SBS 2011 server, it gets the "Cannot Send Mail" message the same as the others. So clearly the handset is working (on the other server at least),
    it must be something misconfigured in this Exchange server right?
    We ran the Exchange Remote Connectivity Analyser on the Exchange server and got green ticks across the board.
    Outlook Web App and Outlook Anywhere both work normally. Everything we can test on the Exchange server works except sending from any iPhone.
    Having said all that, I just setup a Windows Mobile 6.1 handset to sync with the Exchange 2010 server as a test, and it appears to have the same issue.
    It will connect & Sync Mail, Contacts and Calendar but if trying to send an email from the phone, it will just sit in the outbox.
    Does anyone have some insight into what the problem may be?

    Further to this .. I found the solution on a MS Exchange 2010 support forum.
    It was not a certificate or firewall issue, looks as thought the “Accepted Domains” in Exchange Mgmt Console –
    Org Config – Hub Transport cannot have any spaces in the name field.
    I had some spaces and the emails were not downloading fully and able to send. Once I removed the spaces from the Name field and
    restarting the Exchange and IIS services emails were now being sent and received ok.
