Are you sure the first 25 are clean and it's only the 26th that starts to get time penalized (as opposed to a lower number being where you start to be time penalized and 25 being the absolute cap)?jbarrouk wrote:I just found out that my host limits bcc to 25 recipients...
Assumning the first 25 bccsare really free (no time delay), do this:Could you tell me which file to adjust and how to change my parameters for chunking?

We have next email limitations on mailserver to disallow outgoing UCE and unapproved huge distribution lists to be passed through through IX Webhosting mailservers:
1. Message will not be accepted by mailserver if total number of recipients, listed in To, Carbon Copy and Blind Carbon Copy fields exceeds 25 (It will be rejected as “452 4.5.3 Too many recipients”)
2. By default, it is allowed to send up to 300 messages of the same content per day. Further messages will be dropped without any notification (mailserver will issue afformative reply, but message will be dropped)
3. By default, it is allowed to send up to 5000 messages of the same content per month. Further messages will be dropped without any notification (mailserver will issue afformative reply, but message will be dropped)
4. By default, it is allowed to send up to 200 total messages per hour per domain. Further messages will be queued to be sent out in subsequent hours.
5. All above will not be applied on EZMLM-managed lists, as they have automated bounce handling.
We've whitelisted your phpbb on our mailserver with requested quantity of mails sent per month using this forum. Thank you for choosing our services and for further cooperation.
I don't really understand what tehy are saying. Are they saying that even though the normal limits are what they say earlier, you can send emails with no limits so long as you stay within what you told them? If so, does that mean you no longer need to chunk at all because they would allow you to send out a single email with 2500 bccs?jbarrouk wrote:Is anything he said going to conflict with the mod or should it work ok?
Sounds like the problem was on the isp side and had nothing to do with this mod, so you were right to get your isp provider to help.writer2 wrote:Then we started getting error messages saying that the smtp server wasn't responding, so I wrote to our ISP provider about that. He seems to have sorted that problem out for us.
Again, it sounds like this has nothing to do with this mod (or the mod to the mod that automatically sends out emails for each post). I don't believe the extra emails are coming from your board...I think they are coming from outside (the email is 'rattling around' somewhere out there). For example, I'm guessing that if you post to the forum you mentioned, you would not see that behavior for the new post, but please give that a try to confirm.writer2 wrote:Since then however, we have a new, weird problem. This only happens on one forum. Somebody made a post to it last week, and ever since then, every day (except Sunday for some reason!), those of us who are in its email group have been receiving a copy of the post. So now I have five or six copies of it. The first time round it was a normal post, listed as being from the person who sent it, but all the subsequent copies are listed as being from "Anonymous".
Any idea what could be causing this? As I said, it's only happening on this one forum, although there have also been posts made to other forums which have email groups since then.
When a user who is authorized to email posts begins a post, there is a checkbox titled "Mail post to designated groups" right under the post window. But that will only appear for a user who is authorized to email posts. Did you grant yourself permission to "Email posts" via the ACP?pclive72 wrote:Are there any screenshots of what and where this option/feature is displayed? I tried installing the mod, but was unable to see where the feature is.
Sure, you just need to adapt the mod to what is actually on your board. You would comment out that line as the mod says but make sure that later on when the mod adds two lines that each begin with user_notification(... you conform those lines by adding a reference to whatever the topic rely mod added there. And make absolutely sure that the order of the parameters you add there is exactly the same order as the order of the parameters in the line you will be modding in functions_post.php.pclive72 wrote:I thought I had this mod installed before. But I had to undo the operation due to some other issues that I had. Now here's where I am. I try to install the mod and I get an error in the posting.php
Critical Error

One thing I noticed about the second line is that it has: "$message" at the end of the line that is in MY posting.php file. That comes from the Topic Reply in Email Mod. Can I modify this so that is maintained, or will this mod not work with the Topic Reply mod?
Thanks.

In the permissions. Go to the permissions for whatever group or user you want to authorize and grant permissions to email posts.pclive72 wrote:Ok,
I feel like I've got it installed now. I've re-adapted the $message code for the Topic Reply in Email. But I still don't know how the email thing works. I'm not sure how or where to give permission to use this feature. I've looked in the ACP (assuming that is Admin Control Panel) but I don't see anything there that references this email to groups option. Where would I see this?
Thanks for your help.
