Hi Brook, What you need to do is take advantage of ReportPostStatus.cfm.PostFail.cfm, and PostWarn.cfm. You can use these to enter data into a database while mail is being sent out.
There are some samples of these in the manuals. Marc -----Original Message----- From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 5:56 PM To: inFusion Support List Subject: [iMS] The aftermath I just sent my first largish campaign of about 500,000 emails. Or at least I thought I did. I am having a lot of difficulty trying to determin what was sent and what was not. It does not look like all of the mail that I *thought* I wrote to the out folder was sent. Can you guys who send large campaigns regularly help me understand how you parse the logs for results and any tips & tricks to dealing with large log files. My log file (POST) is 150 megs. I am having a log of trouble trying to read/open it. I checked the stats folder and it shows: ------------------------------------------------------------ [Tallies] mail.mailidmx498.net=22810 mailout.uk.com=4 [Bandwidth] mail.mailidmx498.net=160390788 mailout.uk.com=1625 [Totals] TotalMessages=22814 TotalBandwidth=160392413 ------------------------------------------------------------ Does this mean that really only 228,10 emails were sent? What about undeliverable mail, is that included in this count? If so, then for some reason, it looks like not all of my email went out. I am using a logging feature to log the script that rights the mail/calls the cfx. It was sending 50,000 emails at a time. And is logged as completing on each cycle and I *believe* the mail files were being written. The reason I am a bit unsure if the emails were all sent is that all of the outgoing emails have link tracking and open rate tracking code. And on the last 4 campaigns of 50,000, no openrates, undeliverable or any other tracking code was triggered. So it really doesn't seem like these emails went out although I am fairly certain they were written to the queue, although I do not know how to verify this 100%. Any help is really appreciated.
