Newsletter can't be send - Security problem?

This error message affects collecting bounced messages, but shouldn't stop email from being sent out.

Make sure you are running the latest version of enewsletter.module.

Then set up a test newsletter, subscribe to it, create a node and include it in newsletter, click 'send now', run cron - you should receive the email.

"I installed this version about a week ago"

Try downloading the eNewsletter module today and drop that into your installation, I frequently update it, you might be experiencing problems that where fixed a while back.

Also read back through the instructions above and make sure to complete each one. Sending is working fine, receiving is also working but configuring it can be difficult (i.e. you need to know exact settings on your sever).

"I'm really eager to get this module working as you can tell "

Yes I can tell, I'll try and help you out...

The enewsletter_combined.mysql database set up file is only for the first time that the modules are all set up.

After that update by downloading just the package on the eNewsletter page - where it says:

Releases
* Download latest release (cvs)

The direct link to the package is: http://drupal.org/files/projects/enewsletter-cvs.tar.gz

Once you've downloaded that, open the README.txt and scroll to the bottom - there are update instructions there listing any changes you need to make to the database.

Next install the two files in your modules/enewsletter/ directory:
enewsletter.module
enewsletter_send_receive.inc

Go to the module admin page on your site, if you need to update any of the component modules (e.g. bounced_email.module) you'll get a message to tell you. If so download the component module and upload the new files to your modules directory. Any database changes where already dealt with in the enewsletter README.txt above.

Sounds like your install is in a bit of a mess, I'd advise looking through the enewsletter_combined.mysql and dropping all the tables listed there, then run the enewsletter_combined.mysql file again. Also you could delete all the modules listed on http://drupal.org/project/enewsletter and upload the current versions to make sure you have a completely fresh install (note: if you run enewsletter_combined.mysql there's no need to use the database file of each component module).

Hope that helps.

In future I'll add a new UPDATE.txt file to the enewsletter directory and put these instructions and the update details in that.

Any luck?

Just uploaded a new version to cvs, there is now a UPDATES.txt file with instructions on updating this module.

Plus if you browse yoursite.com/cron.php it will give simple debug feedback.

When I changed it to just "110" and started the 'cron.php' job I received the newsletter a little later.

OK, so sounds like these are the correct settings for you.

The module requires a cron run to send out email, here's some info on how to do that:
Configuring cron jobs

This has caught others out in the past...

Have you created some new nodes (pages) and included them in the newsletter?

If there is no new content the newsletter won't be sent out.

By tye way, what system are you running this on? (OS? Apache? PHP? MysQL?)

OK, use the contact form on my Drupal account to get in touch:

Sorted :-)

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the rehash on this issue, but I've run into the same problem as described in this bug report and even after reading through both bug reports covering the same topic the solution still seems to escape me. I first tried this on my Windows XP SP2 / Apache test machine at work earlier today with the same result, and at first thought it might simply have been a configuration issue there. However I am still getting the same thing after creating a fresh Drupal site on my main testing server (see specs below) with the only additional modules installed being the ones required by enewsletter. I have little doubt that the problem exists between my chair and my keyboard, but I just simply cannot for the life of me see why this doesn't work. I am also running the Xoops CMS on this test server, and I set it to use the PHP mail() function and I was able to send e-mails to users without any trouble. On my previous install of Drupal I had mail being sent and even checked without problems from serveral modules (dba, notify, mailhandler, survey and Drupal itself)

This is what I did on my test server tonight;

1. Fresh Drupal install

2. Created "Articles" category vocabulary which was linked to the "story" node type, and added "Test Articles" as a term.

3. Copied enewsletter module and 7 required modules to their own directory in the Drupal module directory.

4. Executed enewsletter_combined.mysql script from enewsletter directory against drupal database.

5. Enabled enewsletter module and 7 required modules from the Drupal module admin screen.

6. Entered enewsletter config admin and set valid e-mail addresses for "From:", Reply-To:" and "Bounce Mailbox:". I then set my e-mail server DNS name for "Mailbox Host:" (mail.mydomain.com) and set my mailbox username and password (all other options left at default values)

7. Entered enewsletter admin and created "articles" newsletter with "Test Articles" term selected (all other options set to default)

8. Went into "My Account" setting and subscribed to "Articles" enewsletter list.

9. Created new story making sure to tick the "Email Newsletter" option and submitted it as a published story.

10. Went back into enewsletter admin to the newsletters node and clicked the "send now" option, and then clicked "send" again to confirm.

11. In my browser window I accessed http://mydrupalsite.com/cron.php

12. This is the error I get in my browser window when running cron;

warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {mail.it-hq.org:110/pop3/notls}bounce@it-hq.org in C:\web\drupal\modules\bounced_email\bounced_email.module on line 98.

Time to send newsletter: Articles

At least 1 subscriber: YES

Another thing is if I try and register a new account after having installed enewsletter and associated modules, I get this error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: subscribed_form_publications_array() in C:\web\drupal\modules\enewsletter\enewsletter.module on line 705

The following are my environment details and enewsletter related file versions;

Windows 2003 Server SP1 / IIS 6PHP 4.3.10 (PHP Info = http://www.it-hq.org/phpinfo.php )
MySQL 4.1.14
MailEnable Standard 1.91 SMTP/POP3
ISAPI_Rewrite
Drupal 4.6.5 (clean URL's enabled)

bounced_email.module,v 1.2
html2txt.module,v 1.5
identity_hash.module,v 1.3
publication.module, v 1.12
templates.module,v 1.4
schedule.module,v 1.4
subscribed.module,v 1.5
enewsletter.module,v 1.17
enewsletter_send_receive.inc,v 1.6

I'd really appreciate any pointers you might be able to give me.

Thanks

Same problem here:

warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {mail.sweetike.com:110}bounce@sweetike.com in /home/....public_html/drupal-4.6.3/modules/bounced_email/bounced_email.module on line 98.

No email was received in the bounce account or in the account the newsletter was supposed to go to.
