General Help & How-To / Used LMP Years ago - conflicting reviews - does it still work?

« on: July 19, 2012, 02:54:33 pm »

Some sites indicate problems.
years ago the owner was active on the forum, it appears he has moved on.
does anyone know if the current install if bug free, does it work?
Looks like there is no free trial although it is advertised as free.
Any comments would be helpful - thanks

I have searched and the free trials I have found don't work. Does LMP still offer a FREE TRIAL? If so can you provide a secure download link please.
Also a direct link to support would be helpful.

General Help & How-To / warning on line 1791

« on: March 30, 2008, 04:27:21 am »

I get the following when sending mail.
The mail appears to keep sending, but I wonder what the warning below means to me

If I go back to the mail screen and then RESUME, the warning clears, but it comes back later. The list is over 100k users

I mean I see what it says, but how do I verify that the mail is actually being sent?

Thanks for anybody's feedback

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i ' in /home/urhorizo/public_html/lmp/admin.php on line 1719

General Help & How-To / custom unsubscribe link

« on: March 11, 2008, 12:29:16 am »

I need a script to make the unsubscribe links for each list be specific to the domain I specify for it.  

In other words, if I want the main domain in list 2 to use a domain of 123.com in the unsub i need to set that somewhere - and have the data sent to the main db on the main domain when it is clicked.

Another way to put it... this is my unsub link now. all my lists are on one domain ... http://www.urhorizon.net/lmp/rem.php?u=9b1320b

If the list has a list that has reference to 123.com, then I would want the unsub link to look like > http://www.123.com/lmp/rem.php?u=9b1320b

Does anyone know if this can be done without modification of the code?

If it is possible WITH modification of the code, am I allowed to have access to make changes to the code?

If neither of the above is possible, can I contract with LMP tech support to make the necessary changes?

Thanks for the response

General Help & How-To / Manually Send a specific list message to the user database

« on: February 13, 2008, 07:47:09 am »

I have an installation of ListMail Pro (LMP) in which I have 3 user lists, list 1,2,3. I have 27, 18 and 36  followup messages for each list respectively

I want to send the next scheduled message (message #14) to List #2.

How do I do that? And have the user database automatically advance to the next message (#15)  to send accordingly to the delay for that message.

I have looked at Dailymail and ran it but it appeared not to have the function to select which of the three lists to run. I ran it an it did in fact only run list #1. I want to run List #2 - how do I do that?

General Help & How-To / PHP mail vs. SMTP

« on: December 24, 2007, 07:12:15 am »

What is the difference between the two methods of sending mail in the Subject.

PHP mail
I am having problems keeping the outgoing mail active. It stops with no error or apparent reason. I click RESUME and it starts again, but I have to keep checking. I have it set to do 250 ms per email and 1 min every 250 emails.

I have tried SMTP but it is worse.

I have large lists (>10k) and don't mind slowing the output but need a minimum of 25 email per minute throughput.

I can't afford companies like Rackspace ($383/mo to start) to get high end performance. As I said i don't mind slow-slow outbound mail sending.

Thanks

General Help & How-To / message series stuck

« on: November 27, 2007, 05:26:35 am »

It appears that the process of sending messages on my list is stuck at #15.
The delay is 0 this morning.
It was the same yesterday after I  completed a "blast" to my list.
I am thinking that the blast should not have anything to do with the process of the normal mailing sequene - right?

I have the settings to send mail at midnight every night, so I expected that message #15 would no longer be there this morning, msg #16 should be there and the countdown should have started and #15 would be in the process of sending.

didn't happen.

What are the things I need to check to determine WHY #15 didn't send?

Thanks

I know I can look at the user database - delay column- and when it is  - 0 - the cron wil send the message at the skd. time.

Thanks

Development, Suggestions / export follow list - import to another list

« on: October 15, 2007, 09:55:22 am »

How would I export a complete list of follow up letters - then import that complete list to another database.

I want to leave the db from which I exported from untouched as far as the followup are concerned.

My goal is to take a list of followups in one database and replace and/or add (overwriting) them to a different database

General Help & How-To / outgoing mail que stopping

« on: October 08, 2007, 10:37:05 am »

I have been having a problem with the mail que stopping. I can click resume and it will start again and send from 50 to 300 emials and stop again. Click resume will most of the time restart it, but the problem is one list is 120k and the other list is 20k. It is taking me weeks to get the mail sent as I just don't have the time to resume every 5 minutes. And the messages are backing up as they are a week apart.

I have already checked with the host and there are no limits on the number of emails allowed on a daily or weekly basis.

What can anyone suggest that I try to resolve this issue.?

I have other lists running on different installs with no problem, but those lists are not anywhere the size of this one.

Is it possible that LMP has a problem with lists over 100K?

Thanks
