Mass Email problem : Couldn't get mail server response codes

[sanji]

I get this message error when trying to send an email to all members of my forum :

Couldn't get mail server response codes

DEBUG MODE

Line : 166
File : smtp.php

Any idea where this could come from?

Thanks,

are you using snmp of phpmail?

[sanji]

I am using a SMTP server, with "localhost" being the SMTP server address. This is working fine, as emails are sent properly to inform members of answers to their post, or of the arrival of a new pm.

The only problem seems to be with the mass email option...

thanks,

sanji

you might check your smtp settings on your host server to see if there is a limit to how many emails an be sent at once

That might be my issue aswell.
All notifications for replies and pm's are going out and received, but nothing for mass email.

On my aaquacks.com site, mass email works fine with only 73 members.

On my bindepot.ca site, mass email doesn't work with almost 2000 members.

Where would one look to see if we have a limit or quota?
In cPanel?

I really dont know. I think if your using phpmail it might be in your php.ini but ive never tried to adjust this setting. If your using snmp, this might located in whatever mail program your using which depends on your OS distribution, or the options youve selected in CPanel. You might ask CPanel tech support to see if they can give you the info you require

I am only using the email setup on the forum.
I guess it would be the php version.
And I don't think I would have access to the php.ini on a shared server.
I'll contact my host and ask them.

I checked with my host and they said they have a max. 200 limit on mass emailing to prevent spamming.
My be the case for others with the same issue.
