Every Tuesday morning a crontab fires off a TAF that collects about 2500
email addresses from a database of subscribers (this is not SPAM), loads it
into an array, collects all the most recent articles and classified from our
iUpdate system, generates an HTML newsletter and then loops through the
recipients and send it to each subscriber.
I'm on the list, but noticed I haven't been receiving my newsletter. After
much testing it appears that the correct array of recipients is being built
(echo'd to screen when running in debug), but either the loop-through is
failing (doubtful) or the mail server (SIMS on a 7300) is overloading and
ignoring some of the requests (more likely). I surmised this from exporting
the log from the mail server (only 552 entries).
I'm not sure what to do at this stage.
I could put a delay between sends. Is there a pause function in T2000? I've
mucked around with the Timer function in a nested While loop, but no luck.
I could point to another mail server (I've never before overstretched SIMS
but it was bound to happen). I have MS Proxy Server with SMTP but I wonder
what it's limits are? Is it possible to change SMTP server for a particular
action so I don't have to change the default?
I could up SIMS number of SMTP ports, but how many is enough? This is the
first of any number of iSend systems I'm putting in place.
Any help would be appreciated.
