Try using a fake CRON to see if things are working o.k.
1. Go to your Admin Control Panel -> Scheduler and Set the 'Run Mass Email Campaign' to go every 1 minute.
2. Create an SHTML page on your site that <#includes> the cron.php file and have the page refresh itself every 5 minutes. (Copy and paste the code below into a new document and save it as 'runcron.shtml' ***Make sure you point to the right directory -change the code " <!--#include virtual="/sugarCRM/cron.php" -->)" to reflect the directory where your sugar is installed)
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300" />
</head>
<body>
<p>This page will refresh every 5 min., running the cron.php for sugar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<!--#include virtual="/sugarCRM/cron.php" -->
</p>
</body>
</html>
3. Upload the runcron.shtml file to your server (root).
4. Hit the runcron.shtml file with your browser (open your browser and go to http://www.yourdomain.com/runcron.shtml) and wait. Everytime the Cron.php successfully sends out mass emails, there will be a row of "1's" that appear across the screen. Each 1 represents a mail going out. Each 0 is a failure. Let the page refresh several times to see if email batches go out.
Make sure your Outbound Email limit is set to something reasonable, like 100 or so for this test.
Let me know what happens and we'll take it from there.
