hello,

is there possibility to stop a running mailing?

i stopped sendmail and deleted the mailing entry within the openemm interface. this seems to work. is this the correct way to stop a running mailing?


thanks in advance, marton

the complete (?) way to stop and delete a running mailing:

1.) stop sendmail
2.) delete the mailing entry within openemm
3.) delete the generated files in /home/openemm/var/spool/QUEUE/
4.) restart openemm and sendmail

that seems to work. did you guys make any other experiences with stopping a running mailing?


cheerio, marton

Hello!

I am using OpenEMM 2011 and I need to do exactly the same thing you did (5 years ago :S). I'm not following you when you mention "mailing entry". Can you tell me where I can find my mailing entry on OpenEMM 2011? Or should I follow other steps?

Thank you so much! Blessings!

Hi, registered to thank you for the great solution provided in here. You've saved tones of my nerves and time

You should not only delete the files in directory /home/openemm/var/spool/QUEUE (holding the mails generated by xmlback), but also the files in directory /home/openemm/var/spool/META (holding compressed XML packages which are forwarded by pickdist.py to xmlback). Before deleting the files you should stop OpenEMM first.
