Mass Email doesn't work

[roxics]

I've been having problems with my mass email feature.

I send a mass email and out of my 835 members I get about 800 returned emails. But Vbulletin says all the emails were sent when it goes down the list.

I have a hard time believing that all these people changed their email addresses over the course of the last year. My email seems to be working. It's my site based email and not a hotmail account or anything like that. I recieve the messages myself. As do a few other people. So what could the problem be?

Thanks

That depends on what the bounce messages say.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]
unrouteable mail domain "----------.com"

The ---- are to protect the persons email. But they all are like that with the email and domain changed accordingly.

It still doesn't work. I even tried a different email address to send from. It used to work. I wonder why it stopped?

Is there any sort of free mass email service I can take my list to so I can email my members?

Take a few RANDOM emails that bounce and manually 'test' email to them. Just ask these persons : Hey, how are you? Just wanted to say hi : And see if they bounce. If not, then you can be quite sure it is the web server that is unable to process the emails.

You can make a maillist within vBulletin and copy that into your BCC in outlook and mail to yourself in the first first, then it will email from your own system.

If you have cpanel, go check if there is a mailing feature there, some have that enabled.

This is a server issue:

unrouteable mail domain

For some reason your server cannot find a route to the server on that email domain. You will need to contact your host about this problem.
