!! Cron not sending mail?

Hello,

I've tried to find solutions for this problem for the past two days and can't seem to fix it.  I very well may be blind, but I also need to get it fixed ASAP––so I can't continue mulling around in the dark.

My mass mailer isn't working.  The messages will not leave the queue for any kind of mass mail operation regardless of the recipients selected (members, subscribers, etc.) and length of message.  The Broadcast function in the groups is also not working.

I've tried using localhost SMTP.  I also set up an SMTP at another host, checked to make sure it was working, and purchased the Kolimarfey SMTP Mailer Admin plugin.  I tried localhost again with Kolimarfey and a variety of settings.  Cannot get any mail out in any scenario.

I've tried running cron via webhost's cron jobs and also manually.  Right now I've been testing it by loading the page /periodic/cron.php from my browser (turned off security in that directory to do it).  Cron does not send me any confirmations or anything, or say anything on the screen, it loads a blank page.

There are no errors in my webhost's error log.

The webhost is running latest software, they're great.

Help?  /Franco

i had the same problem but found the answer was simple

 

this mass mail is a little confusing there seems to be a bug or its just a safety measure to stop mistakes where by you have to give mail a title then content then when you press preview the system stores the composed message into sql  but does not save the current mail title in the small MESSAGES drop down box which then has THE WORD NONE in it !!! you then have to reselect select the title of the mail you want to preview and send  out   to your members it has caught me out a number of time but I works for me now apart from the fact that the mails it is sending out contain the html code showing but i think this might be because at the side of the input box it says *body i can only assume that by putting html code in the box IE:<html><head> and <body> i have some how injected this in to sql which not places this in to code .... hope this helps and if any one can tell me the sql addy where i can remove my mistake please do ...

 

good luck

Hey, Thanks for replying to my post.  Unfortunately my problem continues: mail successfully enters the queue, but will not leave.  And I'm really not familiar with the workings of the database.  But good luck with your problem too!
