Hello all,

I assume I installed the Simplenews module correctly because I am not seeing any error messages. I am using HTML mail module with Simplenews. HTML works fine. Can someone help me figure out why I cannot send test emails with Simplenews? I have configured the Simplenews block, added 'Actions', adjusted Cron (to 'immediate' and '20000' emails sent), and I have cleared 'Cache' several times. Still I can't send a test email with simplenews.

When I check the site's Log I find that there's no record of simplenews executing a test email. Any suggestions? Please help.

Thanks.

Have you checked http://drupal.org/node/367488?
PS: Sending 20000 mails per cron run? I'm not sure which supercomputer you run on, but my server would not be able to handle that. Also personally I would advise against using 7.x version on a production site.

Immediately sending 20'000 mails is - fully agree - something we won't be able to support for setups i can think of ;-)

However, sending 20'000 mails via cron should not be a big problem. Simplenews scales pretty well into 100'000s of recepients.

BTW: Test mails always are sent immediately, not via cron.

The HTML support is still pretty subject of change in the D7 branch.

Module don't send e-mails when I add content Simplenews Newsletter (I use both method: cron and after content).
But when I go to "Find content", tab Newsletter I see Sent (-).

Then I click edit next to my content, go to tab NEWSLETTER (View, Edit, Newsletter) and I see:

SEND NEWSLETTER
Send newsletter
- Send one test newsletter to the test address
- Send newsletter

I choose one of them. If I click Apply then module Simplenews send e-mails to users.

yichalal, I know what you mean about using drupal 7 on a production site. There are many key modules that I could have used had I decided to go with drupal 6 like the simplenews template module, for example. But I've been able to navigate alright so far. I've been using Drupal (part time) for about a year now so I have intermediate understanding of Drupal . I've figured out how to send test simplenews mail. I added the 'simplenews newsletter' module which is different from the simplenews module. I sent the test and everything worked. Paceman, try using the "simplenews newsletter" module in addition to the "simplemail" module.

I am still having difficulty sending regular newsletters though. Based on miro_dietiker's comments about test simplenews emails not using Cron, I am suspecting that Cron may be what's preventing me from sucessfully sending a test letter. My Cron, is set to 100. I checked my "log" and e-mails are registering.. yichalal I'm using html mail.. i get a failure message when trying to use mimemail now so I disabled it..

Did you go to admin/build/trigger/cron and assign the trigger :Send pending simplenews newsletters ?

@santoshbhosale29, send test does not use cron at all (only regular send may use cron when configured).
Are standard Drupal mail (register, ...) sent ?

If you have more than one test recipient, the comma separation doesn't work!

The test recipients adresses are joined to one recipient, the Test will be send as example to

email1@domain.de,email2@domain.de,email3@domain.de as single E-Mail-Adress

This can not work.

In my case, this is this is a problem in connection with the simplenews_realname module.
The Implementation of hook_mail_alter() in this module breaks the email delivery.
