solved Sending new passwords with NingImport tool and Mailgun validation

Today I sent out new passwords to my former Ning members using the NingImport tool and Mailgun validation.

In activity log, I also found this message:
[system] imported 104 kickbox email validation results into MailGun

Does Mailgun defer to Kickbox decisions?
How can I know how many password mails were actually sent?

That's nothing to do with sending the passwords. Its a message from the MailGun module. If it detects KB failures it will tag them as MG failures as well.

either of two ways:
1) go to your Mailgun site account and look at your email logs there.

or, IF you are using Jamroom Hosting:
2) look at much the same info through the JR end by going to:
Jamroom.net>your name link>your hosting>server dashboard>
domain settings>email delivery log button. Then bookmark that email log page to get to it faster later.

There a way to actually watch the number of password emails AS they are being sent as well: go to your site dashboard and to the Queue Viewer TAB. There you can watch the number change as the emails get sent out if you have enabled throttling when sending them out in large numbers. Once it's done there will be no more queue showing however.

Thanks very much. I am in Jamroom hosting, so...

I can get to the dashboard, but see nothing about domain settings or an email delivery log button. (see attached screengrab).

However, I can search the general activity log with the search term "mailgun", and see that most addresses have been validated, and that a smaller number failed the validation and have been unsubscribed. And I know that NingImport module is doing its thing with validated addresses (sending out the new passwords), so this also gives me an answer to the question. I have checked the Queue Viewer (that is a neat thing!) and nothing is happening there, so I think the work has been done.

I have made contact again with my membership! Perhaps not effectively though, because I forgot to activate my modified template for the message that went with the new passwords (from the NingImport tool). That means everyone has seen the default JR message, which is not a disaster, but also not ideal. I will need to retry with the intended message after a cooling off period (perhaps in two weeks time).

Thanks again.

PJ, you posted a shot of your site's admin dashboard, that's not where I mean.

You need to do it from HERE in the jamroom.net site, in your server dashboard for your JR hosting account.
As I wrote above, follow my directions starting from HERE in this site, as follows:

...IF you are using Jamroom Hosting:
2) look at much the same info through the JR end by going to:
Jamroom.net>your name link at top right>your hosting>server dashboard>
domain settings>email delivery log button. Then bookmark that email log page to get to it faster later.

Thanks... I am like the kid who only reads the last part of a trick test sheet, and stands up in front of class to announce they have read all the instructions.

This time I saw the body of your instruction and did find all the emails!

Thank you again.
