I know the module is being developed, but it did say to post new bugs. Everything seems to function fine at the admin level, messages and sets create fine and save. Cron is running daily at 3am. But the emails are not being sent consistently. A couple have gone, but more do not get sent. The log says cron has run, but the autoresponder says nothing was sent. I'm running drupal 5.1.
Oh, when I try to use the Send Manually button on the Status page, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _simplenews_mail_urls() in /home/jdaringd/public_html/pythorium/modules/autoresponder/autoresponder.module(439) : regexp code on line 1
Not sure what other details are needed. This is my first bug report. :)
I hope to get this working soon. This module is EXACTLY what my site needs and I can find no other like it. It's great :)

#1
Thanks for your report! i found some bugs with sending and fixed it. Grab module from CVS and try again! (When you run cron manually from module, look to the logs, and tell me if there were any problems)
#2
Still not working. I was still not getting the emails even though the status screen said they had been sent, then I realized that my subscription was on Day 7 and past the existing messages. So I unsubscribed myself and started over. I got the Day 0 right away, and then nothing today. The autoresponder status says that nothing was sent last night, though the cron did run successfully.
I tried the send manually button and again got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _simplenews_mail_urls() in /home/jdaringd/public_html/pythorium/modules/autoresponder/autoresponder.module(439) : regexp code on line 1
Thanks.

Ok, i understand. I fixed this fatal error (my mistake). Please test it again!
Sorry for not answering so long, there were a lot of my main work.

Nope, still not quite right. It's not sending the emails automatically. My cron is running fine but the autoresponder won't send the messages on time. It sends the Day 0 right away, and then took nearly 2 days to send Day 1. Day 2 never arrived at all. I can use the manual send without any errors now, but it needs to send them each day without help.
EDIT: it works !! The problem wasn't with the module itself, but the fact that my cron was running once a day, and the autoresponder was triggering the next email AFTER the cron job ran. I am now running cron more often and the emails are coming right on schedule. IT WORKS.
Thank you so much for this module. This is going to be a very valuable component of my website that I have been waiting for all year.

I was wrong. The module really doesn't work right yet :) My cron is running fine, and the status messages are saying that messages are being sent as they should be, but the mail isn't actually being sent. I've been using the manual send feature, but hopefully an update of the module can be issued.
I'm not getting any error messages. It's just not sending.

I am experiencing this bug too. The Crons are set up, but the emails do not send automatically. I need to go through and press "Send Email" button once a day ... so at the moment it is more of a "sort-of-autoresponder" :)
#7
I figured out the "problem", at least for me. The autoresponder was switching from day 1 to day 2 based on the time of day the person signed up(i think) which often came AFTER my cron job ran, if that makes any sense. So things were always a day or two out of sync. I now have my cron running 4 times a day, to make sure all the autoresponders go out. It worked for me, and has been working perfectly for months now.
#8
I have cron running every hour, access logs indicate that it is running sucessfully.
Autoresponder is still not sending messages however, only day 0 is sent, day 1, 2, 3 etc are not being sent.
I'm using the 6.x dev version
any ideas?
