Hi,

I cannot figure out why subscription e-mails are not sent. I can see them in the backend under "Mail Activities" but with status "Not published" so I guess status is not sent?

My setting is that mails should be send immediately - not by using cron job.

Maybe it is related to the fact that the template also has status not published?

But when I try to change this I just get an error.

Thanks,

Claus.
Hmm... suddenly the e-mail arrived...
I did expect it was send immediately.

Hello Claus,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. When you post a new blog post, EasyBlog will queue these e-mails under the mail queue and the cronjob (if you have created) would kick in to process these e-mails.

Why wasn't it sent immediately? You will first need to understand the concept of an e-mail. When you send an e-mail, the sender server (in this case your joomla site) needs to open a connection to the recipient e-mail server and notify them that there is a new mail for their client. This sounds really simple but if you have 100 subscribers, imagine having your server making 100 connections. The script would definitely time out.

Not a problem with the small delay. It's just that other extensions I use sends immediately (Acymaling, RSForms Pro).

Hello Claus,

If the possibility of their scripts are only sending to one or few e-mails, I guess they could resort into sending it immediately without the help of cronjob.
