I’ve put 50 emails into a new mailing list.
I then sent an email to that mailing list.
EE then told me “Error. Unable to send email at this time”.
Except that it had to half of the list. I have no idea which half.

(It is a shame as the email was very important but I don’t want to deluge people with follow on: “sorry, did you get the last one” as it makes me look incompetent.)

So, why isn’t this working and what can I do about it.

Thanks
Bruce.

It may have had trouble batching through that many.  Or- it may have hit a bad address and stopped there.  First I’d maybe drop my batch size to around 30- it’s in ‘Admin- System Prefs- Email’.  Then- take a look at this thread on how to restart a batch- w/out sending it twice to folks who already got it.

Granted- the reading is a bit thick, but it should get you going.  Let me know if it doesn’t.
