Re: Email Management Software
I have no experience with MailChimp or ExactTarget, but I bought a copy of Admin Pro Tools Mail List Manager a number of years back. It was a complete waste of money (we ran it for about 1 week), and their support was non-existent. I would certainly steer well clear of that. /.02 On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 4:53 PM, Jason Fisher wrote: > > If you're doing large volumes, I recommend ExactTarget.

Re: Email Management Software
If you're doing large volumes, I recommend ExactTarget. CF can't actually manage things like bounce-backs, since that's all on the email server-side. You could write all those hooks yourself, if your email server allows you to embed applications, but it's more efficient to let the pro's handle it for you, at least in my experience. Subscriptions you can certainly do with CF, but you can just as easily have your CF subscription system write back to ExactTarget when necessary, so they're not exclusive, depending on your needs.

Re: Email Management Software
You really should look outside the coldfusion box on this one. take a look at www.mailchimp.com It is free for lists up to 500 users. It has an API and is pretty easy to integrate with and also has a Gmail/Google Apps plugin. I'm sure many others will back me up on how good Mailchimp is. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services & solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346299 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Email Management Software
I am looking for a ColdFusion based email list manager. I found one that looked great, but I guess they are no longer around. http://adminprotools.com/detail/index.cfm?nPID=2&cid=3 I am looking to manage our customer newsletters in a more efficient way and be able to track conversions. Also be able to manage subscriptions and bounce backs. What does everybody else do or any recommendations?

We've just been through a rash of apparently inexplicable issues similar to yours that were all eventually traced to a wonky power supply. At least, replacing the power supply eliminated the problems.

Re: CF9 Half Failure
when a request comes in to IIS, the ISAPI connector then passes it to ColdFusion, and IIS then has to sit and wait for a response. If lots of requests get hung up this will cause the application pool to crash which will affect any sites using that application pool. So I would check if all your sites are on the same app pool or not, or perhas 2 of them share 1 app pool and 2 share another, which may answer that question of why it is only 2 sites affected, Put them all on their own app pool for a start.

Re: CF9 Half Failure
I can't really see how that could be CF related if it doesn't affect all sites, unless you have multiple instances. Also there is really no way that CF could affect FTP so it must be coincidental. It is more likely a problem with the web server which is only affecting those sites rather than CF. It could however be a problem with the webserver failing to connect to CF and thus the requests are hanging and restarting CF seems to fix it. What OS/web server and FTP server are you using. Have you checked the web server logs when this happens or looked for other system problems ? If it is windows have you checked the event logs. When they stop responding do you not get type of error ?

CF9 Half Failure
We have a new CF9 server and now have about 5 sites on it. Intermittently, a couple of the sites will stop responding. Both http, FTP, and CF Server on those sites goes down. Restarting CF fixes the problem and http, CF server, and FTP start working again. The thing is, this does not affect all the sites on the server. Generally it's just a couple of sites... others on the same server still run fine. Also, it's the same sites that go always down together. Either sites A and B go, or site C, D, and E go. We don't see anything in the logs to indicate what's happening. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Robert B.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't actually done this much less done it with Solr and I'm not sure what the limit is on a custom field (I assume you're talking about custom1, custom2 etc) but I believe you can stuff as much as you like in a custom field and depending on how you structure it you can treat the contents as a list and then do further work on that. ++ Kevin Parker Advanced Imaging e: webmas...@advancedimaging.com.au w: www.advancedimaging.com.au m: 0418 815 527 ++ http://au.linkedin.com/in/krparker -Original Message- From: cft...@ecartech.com [mailto:cft...@ecartech.com] Sent: Thursday, 21 July 2011 07:35 To: cf-talk Subject: Solr Question I have a query that I'm using to populate a Solr collection.
