    whats the benefit of Amazon SES, Mandrill, etc.

    Did a couple test mailouts through Amazon SES to hotmail and gmail. What I found is with gmail the email went to the promotions tab, and results were the same as if I had sent it out with my own server, so it was a waste of money for that. With hotmail it was different. The open rate was higher...

    whats the benefit of Amazon SES, Mandrill, etc.

    I wanted to test this out, so I signed up for Amazon SES today (its the only one that is relatively cheap). I sent out 20,000 emails as a test, and it went out lightning fast. 3 minutes I think, and they were actually delivered in the people's inbox in 3 minutes, because I was getting opens...

    how to see whats in redis queue

    LOL. I was hoping I wouldnt have to reveal i'm an idiot. The mailwizz queue process had stopped somehow, and I forgot to check if it was running. I just ran the command by SSH and it was working again.

    whats the benefit of Amazon SES, Mandrill, etc.

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone can share their practical experience with the paid email delivery services. What exactly is the benefit of it? I have a dedicated server and have been sending out our newsletters for years to about 250,000 subscribers and I have never had any problem with...

    how to see whats in redis queue

    I did a mailout of 200,000 emails. In exim I am only seeing 30,000 have been sent. Is there any way to check what is pending in the redis queue? It seems to be stalled but is running fine (Ping returns Pong).

    some headers flagging mails to google promotions (bulk mail) tab

    In case anyone else does this, you need to keep the following for bounce processing, otherwise bounce processing doesnt work: 'X-Mw-Campaign-Uid' => $campaign->campaign_uid, 'X-Mw-Subscriber-Uid' => $subscriber->subscriber_uid,

    Process campaigns using Redis Queue.

    Some feedback: I sent 216,000 messages in 52 minutes. Which would be around 250,000 messages per hour. Before I was getting 40,000 to 50,000 messages per hour. Server load went up to 16 while both the queues and send processes were running. Once the send process finished (with the queues still...

    Process campaigns using Redis Queue.

    I just installed redis and phpredis and am testing it. The sending seems to go very fast, but when I check my exim mail queue it isnt increasing at all. The mail queue is still empty. At this point I am still only 50% done sending the campaign. So how does this work? When do the messages get...

    sometimes merge process freezes

    Sometimes the merge process freezes. What is the best thing to do. Do we refresh the page, or do we go through the campaign building process again. or do we go back a page and redo it? It would be nice if the merge process was done by the cron on sending, so you dont have to sit with the...

    Copy subscribers at once is too big (maximum is 1000)

    Hi, I got this error message when trying to put 5,000 as the limit for copy subscribers. I want to speed up the merging of lists. Can you tell me in which file this limit is hard coded at maximum 1,000 so I can try with higher numbers? I am using a dedicated server, so I don't think it will...

    some headers flagging mails to google promotions (bulk mail) tab

    I deleted the following lines and now the email gets delivered to the inbox instead of promotions tab in gmail: 'X-Mw-Campaign-Uid' => $campaign->campaign_uid, 'X-Mw-Subscriber-Uid' => $subscriber->subscriber_uid...

    Extremely slow sending

    One way to really boost throughput speed is to: 1) Use a Solid State Drive for your server and mail spool. You will get lightning fast speeds. 2) If you cant afford that. Put your exim spool on a Ramdisk, which has the same throughput as the SSD drive but is cheaper. There is the downside that...

    some headers flagging mails to google promotions (bulk mail) tab

    Just did the same test on mail-tester. Both got 10/10. Over the last year I have done thousands of these tests with gmail, doing them with every single mailout I do (which is every day) to first get them past googles promotion tab, sending tests to dozens of email accounts in various manners...

    Amazon SES Bad Stats in Mailwizz

    In another thread it was pointed out that Mailwizz shows the CTR taking into account total URLs in a message. So if you have only one URL in a message it may show 1% CTR but if you have 10 URLs in the message it will show it as 0.1% CTR. Sendy tracks the CTR counting total people who clicked...
