solved NewsLetters

Ok it has been awhile since I have sent a newsletter but for the life of me, aside from the admin test email, I have nothing going out.

Attached are the settings I used but when I look at the browser...

Resolved - queues were all paused for some reason after the upgrade to current JR Versions.

I see it working on your site. I just looked in your DB and I see the "prep_newsletter" worker is working and creating the queue entries.

The newsletters work like this:

- you submit the form
- the "prep_newsletter" worker goes to work gathering up all the users that COULD be sent a newsletter based on your criteria
- filtering happens
- the prep_newsletter worker creates new "send_newsletter" queues
- when all is complete, the "send_newsletter" worker picks up and starts working to do the actual sending

Note as well: Any newsletters sent to Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail users will "trickle out" over several hours. These systems have rate limiting in place - this means if we were to send them all at once, most of the emails to those systems would be dropped. So in a big send, if you have hundreds of users with yahoo, AOL and Hotmail addresses, it could be 10-12 hours before all newsletters queues are fully worked.

Let me know if that helps.
