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.
Thanks

General Help & How-To / host or ISP issues
« on: April 01, 2008, 04:37:11 am »
I have a dedicated high end server with hostgator

If I use SMTP what issues do I face with the host or ISP when sending large lists ?

Do either have access to an outbound traffic sending counter that would throw a flag if over a specified rate of send is exceeded?

I believe that is why I chose to use PHP mail - as there is no such monitoring.

Am I correct?

If so, is it possible to write an error script to monitor such issues as you raise in your response above to keep the mail going out thru PHP mail without interruption.?

Thanks

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 / processes for Dailymail
« on: February 15, 2008, 07:19:41 am »
So if I understand this correctly. When Daily mail is run, it sends messages to all users on all lists that have a Delay of 0 - correct?

Let's say I run Dailymail, then I check the users and find that some are at various levels of Delay, i.e. 1,2,3 - no 0 as I just ran Dailymail and any 0's would have been sent the message and those users would be advanced to the next follow messag number - right?

So after I run Dailymail the first time the Delay will decrement to 0,1,2 from what it was before (above) - right?

So I run Dailymail again and LMP will send followups to all the Delay 0 and 1,2 will become 0,1 - right?

Please let me know if I undersand this correctly?
Thanks

General Help & How-To / mail sending method
« on: February 15, 2008, 07:10:27 am »
Doesn't SMTP use the local connection of the ISP.
Would the ISP object to doing mass mailing thru the SMTP, therefore PHP is a better choice to avoid ISP complaint issues?

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?

What is the best setting for the following?

What determines the setting that is used?

nternal PHP mail() (delayed to prevent timeouts)  (xxx ms) per email and  (xxx mins) every  xxx emails.

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

General Help & How-To / cron - next message to send
« on: November 19, 2007, 06:22:10 am »
Is there a way to look somewhere to figure out what the next message the cron is qued to send?

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.

but - is it possible to look somewhere in the cron code to actually see the code that the cron will execute.?
Thanks

General Help & How-To / Stop a list from mailing temporarily
« on: November 18, 2007, 02:41:56 am »
Is there a way to stop a list from mailing out without exporting the users temporarily to my hard disk and then deleting them from LMP?  
Them importing them back when I am ready to resume mailing the list
