Magento ver. 1.7.0.0
We are currently using Magento and want to send Newsletters out. It has this build in. We have created templates and then when it gets moved into the queue it sticks there and does not get sent out at the appropriate time. There is no other way of sending the newsletter out immediately and there are no error messages to give you a clue as to why the situation has arisen.
Has anyone come across this and found a fix?
You need to enable cron for scheduled tasks in Magento. Login to your server in ssh (putty), open your crontab;
crontab -e
and add this line to it;
*/5 * * * * php -f /path/to/magento/shell/cron.php
Obviously change /path/to/magento/ to the actual path on the server.
You can now also enable log cleaning in admin which sheds alot of db records which slows Magento down.
Hope this helps

Magento newsletter cron job work sending newsletter mail only one time. But "cron_schedule" table update newsletter records with success status every minute. I want to send newsletter email by scheduled time. How can i fix it? Please guide me...
Here's how:
Choose the correct timezone to solve the timing issue as follow.
Stores-> Configuration -> General -> General -> Locale Options -> Timezone
You have to set Cronjob to send the newsletter automatically at a scheduled time or you can manually run this command to run cron manually:
php bin/magento cron:run

Note: I had to install the SMTP extension (https://www.mageplaza.com/magento-2-smtp/) to send emails from my local host.
I am new to suite crm and have successfully set it up and is up and running.
The notification system is not working at all and not showing up any alerts.
Here is what I have done
Succesfully setup suite crm and working well
Set up cronjobs on server as mentioned on the admin/ sheduler sections
Repaired scheduler after setting up the scheduler
Tested to see if the notification works or not by setting up the renewal reminder date fields in the contract module but the notification is not showing up.
What am I missing or doing wrong. In the admin/scheduler settings I can see the lists of schedulers. How to know which scheduler will serve my purpose. Is it possible to create new scheduler. I cannot see any options to create a new scheduler.
Make sure you have set properly set permission on server. 755 on all suitecrm files and 777 for cache and custom. After that execute repair and rebuild. Execute any database mismatch query.
After that make sure that "Optimise Advanced OpenDiscovery Index" scheduler is executing without any issue. See following image for reference:
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Postfix
Late yesterday, I added a package (ispconfig3) that modified my postfix configuration and also added an entry to the root crontab that was invoking a script.
At around 11PM last night, I uninstalled that package and went to bed. The uninstall deleted the script and it's directory ok. But it did not clean up the crontab entry.
Since cron had trouble invoking the script, it sent root#xx.org an email. But ispconfig3 had modified my postfix configuration, therefore there is no mail transport capability. So a MAILER-DAEMON email was placed in the mail queue.
Overnight, (I'm guessing here!) cron wakes up every minute and tries to do the same thing. So by 7:00AM there are now 1100+ emails in the mail queue. But since postfix is messed up, I can't see them.
At around 8:00ish I realize that something is wrong with my email set up. I check postfix configuration, backout the changes and now I can get emails ok. I can send them, receive them, etc.
Then the flurry of emails start. Every minute or so, I get around 30 MAILER-DAEMON emails indicating that cron couldn't invoke the script. I check
sudo crontab -l
see the stale command for the non-existing script. I clear it out:
sudo crontab -e
I expect the emails to stop.
They don't.
In fact, every minute they seem to be increasing in number. I then spend a few hours looking at a ton of configuration files to try to figure out what is going on. By 11:00ish or so, it's up to 50+ emails coming in every minute.
I finally realized that this stream of emails was occurring because of the failures that occurred the night before and that it was going to go on for 7 days. The "7d" comes from a postfix configuration setting. (BTW I changed that to be "2d" i.e. only a couple of hours).
In any case, I solved it. I'm adding this post so others can save themselves some time. See below.
Finally hit on the idea to look at the mail queue.
A bit of googling and I found this site:
https://www.garron.me/en/linux/delete-purge-flush-mail-queue-postfix.html
I tried
postqueue -p
which listed all of the "(mail transport unavailable)" emails:
... snip ...
-- 1104 Kbytes in 1185 Requests.
I then did:
postqueue -f # this flushes the mail queue
postqueue -p
Mail queue is empty
And all of a sudden email flurry ended.
Note: the website above said to use:
postfix -f
that did not work for me. A bit of googling found the postqueue command.
Another note: I was worried there were emails in that mail queue that were not "mail transport unavailable", so I double checked all 1185 emails to ensure it was ok to purge them.
I want to make squirrelmail automatically forward every email that I receive without having to login and do it myself. I have have found 2 plugins from the site but none of them seem to be working (autoresponder, local_autorespond_forward)
I tried to do that by myself straight from the code but the messages are decoded.I am new to squirrelmail so I would like some help please. It is installed in a ubuntu server.
This is the problem i get with autoresponder
There was a problem connecting to your FTP server: "cannot log in to localhost". Please contact your support department.
Local_autorespond_forward plugin does not show any option when i go change its properties from the options.
Thanks
Background:
For our software product (web application) clients will need to request a license from us before installing it.
We would need to check if they are a paying client (a manual process at the moment).
I need the ability for one of the initial steps of my installer to be let user request license via a custom page in the NSIS installer.
They would put in some mandatory fields and then this would get fired off in an email.
Ideally, NSIS would let them know that the email had successfully been sent.
They would then exit the wizard, but when we verify who they are and send them a serial (few days later), they can run installer again, and there would be an option to enter the serial, allowing them to progress to the next screen.
Ideally, the custom page will look something like this.
Question:
It is the emailing bit that I am currently stumped on.
I have not seen any plugins to do this.
How can I send an email from a custom page in NSIS?
- I imagine there might be a couple of approaches?
Probably best way to send emails is to use external application.
You can develop simple application in C/C++/C# if you have some programming skills, but there exist many apps for this purpose, e.g try this one called bmail:
http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/cmdlinemail/cmdlinemail.htm
C:\>mail -s smtp.server -t cpeacock#max -f root#neptune -h -a "Subject e.g. Fatal Error"
-b "Body of message e.g. Fatal Error occurred in cgi script, secure.cgi"
Simply use nsExec plugin to call this .exe with your desired parameters.
Alternatively create.bat file with appropriate parameters, unpack it to $PLUGINS directory together with bmail.exe and launch the .bat using ExecWait command from NSIS.
For creating custom page try this tool for NSIS: http://www.graphical-installer.com - it allows you to create skinned installer with custom page you need.
