Cron not always sending

    Hi,
    My list has about 1200 subscribers, and I setup a “new post” notification template working with the cron. I setup a limit of 3000 mails by hour (dedicated server and no problem with hosting company). The cron is launched every 10 minutes.

    At 1 o’clock we publish article #1. Immediately I receive a mail saying that “message #1 has been sent to 1200 subscribers” with the string reference. In the “reports I see that this mailing was in fact sent from 1 o’clock, but ended at 3 o’clock. 2 hours?
    Moreover I received a second mail saying that the cron has sent the “Message #1 to 40 subscribers” (40 or something else, but a very small number). Every 10 minutes later I receive mail notifications saying that the cron has sent the “Message #1 to 0 subscribers” (0 = zero!)
    When checking the “report” i can see that all has been sent (at least it is what it is written)

    At 1.30 o’clock we publish article #2. Immediately I receive a mail saying that “message #2 has been sent to 1200 subscribers” with the string reference. In the “reports I see that this mailing was NEVER SENT to anybody (all mails “in queue”)

    5 hours later, nothing had changed.

    And I am still continuing to receive mails saying that the cron has sent the “Message #1 to 0 subscribers” (yes message number ONE, to ZERO subscribers).

    If I run the cron manually, same thing, I get an email “Message #1 to 0 subscribers”!

    It would be a pitty that I had to rollback to jetpack, but their notifications work without any kind of problem ?? Thanks for help, if any…

    Oh and I add that according to the server cron logs, the cron is indeed working well…

    @ruzakuku,

    I setup a limit of 3000 mails by hour (dedicated server and no problem with hosting company)

    Go to Email Subscribers -> Settings -> Cron. Check what is the limit number field Email Count. That number of emails will be triggered per hour using cron

    The cron is launched every 10 minutes.

    Please try increasing gap between each cron execution to an hour and check.

    Let us know if it works for you.

    Well finally it is ok. I noticed that 25 emails are sent, every time the cron runs. Dono why, but ok. These 25 mails are sent in about 5-6 minutes. So I setup the cron to run every 10 minutes and it is ok. The pojnt is that when we post 5 or more new articles in one hour, notifications arrive very slowly. But that isn’t that critical ??
