Hi Dean

Sounds ok - cpanel is what I'm used to and I'd prefer something I can work with. How long will it take you to get the job done after you get a go ahead?

Email Web Hosting / Getting me set up Dean

« on: June 14, 2008, 01:56:13 am »

Hey Dean
It's been a while since I've been around but I'm looking at setting up the mail server again. I want you to set it up on a server you recommend and I want to be able to mail maybe 150k a day. Come back tome as soon as you are able and let me know what your offerings and recommendations are.

Regards

Customization, Integration / Extracting data from tracked links thru PhpMyAdmin

« on: April 28, 2005, 02:04:50 am »

Hi Dean

2 things. The concern of all the ? showing were from visitors who had subsequently unsubscribed before I extracted the list. You mentioned that this may have been one of the reasons when I raised the issue. I tested it and that proved to be correct. The second reason was not so much as deleting themselves as being overwritten by the next extract.
A list is extracted through codespecial and a new list is created. This new list is not allocated a name - it shows as a blank space with a number allocated. If the next list is extracted before this list is given a listname, the new extract overwrites the previous one. At one stage the codespecial extract process would not extract the same list again. I can't remember all the details.However, in one of my setups the codespecial extract allocated a list number and list name to the extracted list. The next extract would then be automatically allocated the next spot.  This was a user understanding problem. I didn't set anything up different on any of the applications - I don't know why there was a different performance. I have subsequently dismantled those mailers as the bulk mailing was a disaster from a cost point of view. I want to set up 1.8 on your recommended server and just run my subscriber lists - maybe 20k.
Hope that was of use Dean - although I suspect not much.

Hi Dean - Iwant you to fix it

Strangly enough - the script processed differently for each listmailpro setup I had. On one system the extracted list was placed in a new list and allocated a list title. On another the list was extracted to a new untitled list and it would have to be titled through the list editing process. Failure to do that would mean thet the next list extracted would overwrite the one before.

General Help & How-To / Can I find my list data

« on: March 15, 2005, 07:18:56 am »

Hi Dean

I've lost a list. It still shows as a list in the Current list menu but it's empty of records. I've only mailed it once and the message is also gone from the quick load menu. This is really bad news for me. Any ideas

Regards

Customization, Integration / Latest feedback on tracking/extraction

« on: March 14, 2005, 10:50:31 pm »

Open note and Dean

Worked around the idiocyincracy of the lists deleting themselves - if anyone wantd details just post request and I'll explain my experience.

However new factor

A large number of records are now represented with a ? instead of personal details. I've thought of two possible reasons. The link is being activated but the server response is too slow and the subscriber has left or the subscriber has software hiding his identity. The frequency of the ? is increasing to almost everyone.

Your thoughts/experiences

Customization, Integration / Update on extraction process

« on: February 21, 2005, 04:08:59 am »

Hi Dean

My experiences with the extraction code you posted.

Loaded fine. Seems to work fine for two extractions - creates new list - and all details/records shown in new list. After two extracts, the records are shown as extracted but don't appear in the userdatabase - which is shown as empty. Then the codespecial page requests login, and then reverts to editlist and a loop is created. Puzzling.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Kevin

« on: February 02, 2005, 05:34:17 pm »

Hi Dean

Thanks for getting back on this. I would like the option to to split the lists according to site visited. IT would have to be linked to the code I give each link I guess.

Server Optimization, Tweaks / Server for big lists

« on: February 01, 2005, 07:53:00 am »

Hi guys.

I have been in contact with the guy who hosts my listmail stuff. He provides a dedicated server that never falls over and gives me between 500 and 600k a day. Also helped me move my stuff from ev1
My server runs $300 a month
He's happy to talk with you - phoned me in South Africa to answer some of my questions. Has reverse dns so so you can whitelist at aol. If you want his details then mail me at bauer@mweb.co.za with your details and I'll pass them on.

Regards

Kevin
ps. He does have smaller systems so maybe they would be suitable for smaller lists
