NMS Crashes Server

I recently setup NMS on one of my sites and every time I tried to send a message out ( I was just sending a test and only to 3 emails) it would crash all the sites that I host on that server for about 5 minutes. I can't figure out the problem. I tried the NMS I have on the other sites on that server and they worked fine.

Help?!

You should tell us something more about your CMSms and server enviroment.

Perhaps the email account is set up incorrectly for that site.

I'm also having the same issue with NMS 2.0.2. My system information is as follows:

Server Information:

Server API (server_api):

apache2handler

Server Database (server_db_type):

MySQL (mysql)

Server Database Version (server_db_version):

5.0.51a Success

Server Software (server_software):

Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8b DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.6

Server Operating System (server_os):

Linux 2.6.26.2-grsec On x86_64

In regard to the Email info, I noticed the POP3 fields. What do I populate these with, the SMTP address, username and password for my email account?

Thanks,
Todd

NMS -> Preferences
Delay (in milliseconds) between sending each message : just put 2000 for start and try it

Just sending one email...still hangs the server.

Yes, CMSmailer works...I tested this when I upgraded. Any ideas? I have a client who's patience is wearing thin.

After much trial and mostly error.. I think it may have something to do with the template I'm using. I made a template and this one doesn't work here is the code:



{sitename} - {title}

{metadata}














 

 
   

  E-Newsletter from GlenHillsGolf.com
     
       
             

{nms_content name='content' prompt='HTML Content'}
       
         
         
     
 
 

Home | Course | Specials | Membership | Events | Contact | Facilities

              Copyright © 2008 Glen Hills Golf Club Inc. All Rights Reserved.
 




Then I tried using this and it works fine every time I use this code in the template, the only thing different is that I don't have the links near the end...



{sitename} - {title}

{metadata}














 

 
   

  E-Newsletter from GlenHillsGolf.com
     
       
             

{nms_content name='content' prompt='HTML Content'}
       
         
         
     
 
 






I cannot explain this and I cannot make my first code work.

My client doesn't use NMS for a newsletter, just as a mailing list to send out notices regarding upcoming gigs. Again, I'm just sending myself one test message. It is HTML, so maybe I'll try just a plain text message. This worked fine before I upgraded to 2.2...that's when all the problems began.

Help!!!

I also have the same issue on a IIS server: Any of the sites hosted on the server are available until the batch is fully executed.
I can confirm that all the emails go through...

I was able to send an email when I chose the Text Message option (email not sent as HTML). This will work, but my client desires to send HTML email. When I used the Sample template when sending HTML mail, it still hung the server.

Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated

I finally got mine to work. For me, it was something with the HTML template I was using. If I pasted some code in near the bottom it wouldn't work, but when I was in Dreamweaver creating the template I just typed it in manually instead of pasting it from a pre-existing file. And then it worked. I have no idea why. The code was almost the same so it makes absolutely no sense.
