Hi I am having problems with sendEmailToContactList.
My operating system is CentOs. As I understand it this runs an Async service to send the emails. The problem I have is that I never see the emails being sent. The sendEmailToContactList service runs and creates entries in COMMUNICATION_EVENT and JOB_SAND_BOX table. The service then seems to assume that all is well and runs setCommunicationEventComplete. I have run sendEmail service from webtools and this sends emails succesfully so I have inferred my email is configured properly. I'm at a loss to understand how an asynchronous service operates i.e. what is the workflow and what service picks up the job and runs it (is it JobPoller?) The JobSandBox shows all the jobs as finished but I'm not fully clear n what this means. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
