Campaign not sending email

[ledude]

Hi all.

I have the Sugar CE 6.5.7 and are having this issue that I'm not sure whether its pilot error or bug. I created a campaign for email blast for about 800 members. Setup all the usual stuffs. Want it to be sent out by 3pm today. Well, 3pm has passed by and no email got sent. I checked the email queue, it has all 800 of them in it. I digged around google and people were suggesting me to check on the schedulers. Did check the scheduler and under the Admin>Schedulers>Run Nightly Mass Email Campaigns, I edited the scheduler. I changed the interval from 2-6 hrs to 2-18 because I saw it under the details, 2-6 is shown as 2-6am which puzzled me. However nothing got change on the details and it still said 2-6am interval even when I edited it said 2-18 hrs now.

Puzzled, I went to email queue and force the email to be sent. (Select All> Send Queue Campaigns Emails). Emails got send but then I still see Queue emails of around 250 with Send Attempts mark to 1. I tried to force it to resend, but nothing. So I'm not quite sure whether those 250 actually already got sent or it's just sitting there. The question is why does it just sat there even after I force it to send. Did I miss anything?

Is there something I didn't do that caused all these problems? Please help?

check the sugarcrm log to see if its reporting any issues,

And send a test email from admin to make sure your email setting are working,

Thanks Salesagility.

You are right. I saw this error in the log but I'm not sure what that means. Could you perhaps comment on it? Many thanks for all of your help..

Oh and also, the test email sent just fine. 500 of them sent just fine but the rest of the 250 something seems to be stucked in the mail queue. Strange..

Found out that the problem is with email address. At least one part of it. Now the other problem, I'm not sure whether this is bug or pilot. How does the email queue works. When the time for the campaign arrived, the email just sit in the queue for hours. I always have to manually select all in the queue and force sending it. is this normal or I'm just being impatient. Doesn't the email should automatically start sending as soon as it sit in the queue? Is there like a batch on when the email got sent to preserve resource because I notice my sugarcrm and email server slowed down tremendously when I force it to send all the email at once (Around 800). That's not even a large email list. Please advise?
