Newsletter does not send

[jinchuriki]

Hi guys,

I'm trying out OpenEMM but i couldn't get my newsletters to send.
I installed the application referring to the manual (altho i skipped the bounce mail part at this moment).

My system is :
Fedora Core 5
MySql 5
OpenEMM 5.0.2

I tested my sendmail installation using:
mail -s "Test sendmail" anon@pnc.com < /sample/content
I can receive the email from my mailbox (not the dummy email add supplied above )

I checked my /var/log/maillog and found the logs generated by OpenEMM:

....
Feb 28 14:55:47 machine xmlback[10939]: mail creation: 0;1;4;4;8;A;1;0;1;1;130668
Feb 28 14:58:12 machine xmlback[11029]: mail creation: 0;1;4;4;9;T;1;0;1;1;130667
Feb 28 14:58:16 machine xmlback[11033]: mail creation: 0;1;4;4;10;A;1;0;1;1;130668
Feb 28 14:59:49 machine xmlback[11071]: mail creation: 0;1;4;4;11;W;1;0;1;1;130658
Feb 28 14:59:50 machine xmlback[11072]: mail creation: 0;1;4;4;11;W;2;0;0;1;130231

I wonder what went wrong. I started sending 1 hour ago, but i have not received the emails yet. Where do i start to troubleshoot?

Thanks.

Regards,
J.

I installed using this command rpm -ihv OpenEMM-5.0.2-1.i386.rpm.

Apparently i have to do these steps myself:
chown root:root bin/smctrl
chown root:root conf/bav/bav.rc
chmod 6755 bin/smctrl
chmod 0600 conf/bav/bav.rc

Issue solved. I can receive my newsletter now.
Thanks anyway guys.

As this save my life, i better leave a message with thanks.

My EMM worked after following
1) the 2011 install guide
2) Your last instructions for the permission.

Thanks.

Can OpenEMM do one or both of the following?

1. A user subscribes to a mailing list on day 1. Can OpenEMM automatically send email A to that same user on day 2, then email B on day 8, email C on day 30, etc.?

2. A user subscribes to a mailing list on day 1. Can OpenEMM automatically add that user to a second mailing list on day 90, say? And/or automatically remove that user from the first list on day 120, say?

I've searched in the docs, forums, and wiki, but can't find the answers!

Thanks!
