Can I email all of my registered members?

Half way down the page you'll find a plugin called "Broadcast Email". Download the plugin, upload it to your /plugins/ folder. Login as the Admin and under your Administration menu you'll find a link down the left hand side menu called "Broadcast Email"

The one in your host's configuration.

I was very pleased to find the pointer to this plugin. Downloaded, unzipped and uploaded. Wrote the message and hit the confirmation button. The plugin tells me that the message will be sent to 2222 (no joke! pure coincidence) registered users including the admin. I hit the "Send it" button and an error message popped up:

"Could not send the message, error in recipients mail address"

Hmm, sending mails about registering, password changes and new posts in subscribed threads works correctly, no errors. What could be the cause?

That error pretty much says it all.  One of your registered addresses isn't valid and is making things blow up.  I don't know how the mod works but sendmail normally restricts the address lists to about 255 addresses so if the mod is trying to throw all 2222 at it at once things aren't going to function very well.

Oh, really? Hmm. So there is no way to use this plugin in a forum with more than 255 users? I wonder if anybody is using this in a larger forum, 255 users is a pretty small forum.

The other option means that there is a bad address in the database and the plugin does not have any error routine to jump to the next one? Bad.

So. does anybody know any other plugin or MOD to send a mass mailing?

Oh, I thought I was in the thread for the plugin! Will search for it. EDIT: Can't find any such special thread with the searchwords "Broadcast Email"

No, this smtp server works fine for all other parts of PunBB and that same smtp server does all my other mail traffic. I should know if it is not working correctly.
