Hi;

I'm trying to use mailout on Drupal 6.9, I realize that it is pretty beta for that version, but;

Mailout does not save any data,
- I cannot add users to a list, I can create the list, but if I try to add users they are not saved
- templates, same issue I can create a new template, but any content is not saved
- mail, it does not send mail, not to the "test mail" address nor if I manually add recipients, and of course I can not create a list to send to.

and here is the fun part... there are no errors thrown, not on the pages nor in the logs

I'm surprised you got that far. Drupal 6 version has had much of the code updated, but we are re-writing a fair bit of it.

I'll make sure the release has appropriate info.

hahah .... ok - so I was lucky then :)

any vague/ballpark eta? I have the client back on massmail [I think] but it is missing the important stuff - being custom lists [test email!!!!] and multiple saved templates...

I do have 1 feature request/suggestion while selecting roles to send mail to, the ability to select or deselect certain users from the role. OR ... select a role as a new list so that you can then add/remove specific members [or can it do that - I have not really checked]

thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated.

I've change it to a feature request for you.

At once stage I did allow you to remove addresses with a checkbox. But for larger lists the amount of html output kills browsers, so unfortunately I had to disable that feature. I have ideas how to do it differently in 6, but I don't think the feature request lives anywhere so lets live it here.

Sorry, no ETA. First step is to finalize the Drupal 5 release. Then one of our clients is going to Drupal 6 and that will mean it's time to upgrade. God, I wish I could pop out cool UIs like the views/panels ppl!

Hmmm you have a point there, you would have to do some sort of pagination to get around, and generally I would imagine that the feature would see somewhat limited use... how about some ideas, instead of select/deselect user from group:

- dump role user emails to a text area/css/whatever & let the administrator edit manually & paste back in

- advance the user role selection a little, i.e. select users who belong to roleX & roleY but not roleZ - that way admins /content editor types who belong to multiple roles can be stripped out easily i.e. I select "all authenticated users" != admin & != editors

- user/email search within the selection/role
