Just as a follow up... Using flat files (csv) is NOT efficient. The problem here is that there is no garbage collection and the scripts (perl) will consume memory until the machine pukes, kills perl without warning... However with MySQL I've pushed 20,000 messages per hour consuming not more than 1%...

Hi! I am near making Communimail talk to Microsoft SQL using an updated version of DBD::Sybase. I have perl talking to MSSQL 2005 using this driver, I've created the MySql tables in MSSQL and they apparently are right. Now I just need to get the Communimail code to use the Sybase driver. Could you p...

I'm doing a few more runs in testing but here is what I've found: cmaild (listed as the command "perl") apparently puts all message elements into memory. The more messages to send the more memory it requires until it exceeds system memory which it then begins to consume swap space. Once al...

You can start cmaild.pl manually (through a call from your script). Thank you! So, cmaild.pl will look for as status change (3) then go away, and not be run again until something kicks it off again, yes? I appreciate your help and I'm trying to repay by answering some of the questions here and upda...

Update!

This problem was the result of the operator, me, misunderstanding how the cmail_daemon.pl worked. I though it functioned like it was a run "manually" process rather than a process that looked for new requests and processed them at they came up.

Hi! I now realize that I misunderstood both cmaild.pl and cmail_daemon.pl in that they initialize the daemon the continues to monitor SendStatus for a change in the status number. I wish I had really read (and understood) the README that clearly describes this. What I really need to do what web_cmai...

It works fine! You need to configure Exchange to permit relying from the box that is running Communimail.

Communimail will not have an Exchange e-mailbox to log into.

Hi! I need to to kickoff the cmaild or cmail_daemon scripts from another application. I have all the networking done but it seems the only way to run the script is from within the ./communimail directory. Any other method, both local and remote, results in the following error: Can't locate libraries...

Update:

My HTML was bad! No fault of Communimail!

Hi!

I am sending 3 identical messages to every recipient every time I manually run 'nohup perl /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/communimail/cmail_daemon.pl &'

It appears the the SendStatus db is not being updated. Using CSV!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
