Question

1. We would like to have each mailing list automatically send out content from specific categories. How do we configure the list to know what categories, and insert the content from them?
2.  As the list has daily feed, can we set up a cron job to run the list less frequently, or is it easier for us to forward date the content of the site so that it only updates when we want the lists to go out?
3. Can you direct us to where the details of how to integrate it into the actual

website.

The plugin is extremely flexible and easy to use.

It should suit all your needs which I'm explaining below...

Users on your site can easily subscribe to your mailing list(s).

You can use a sidebar widget, embed into a post/page or hardcode it into your theme.

Unfortunately comments are not yet supported but we are currently working on this feature. Sending out a blog post as a newsletter to one or more mailing list is very easy. Below the editor, you'll notice a list of checkboxes with all the mailing lists in your system and you can just tick them off.

In order to do this autoresponder which will send your new subscribers an email with a link/URL to download the eBook, you first need to create a new history email by going to the 'Send Newsletter' section and typing the email as you would want your new subscribers to receive it. Then send it once to that mailing list to which your subscribers will be subscribing. Now go to the 'Configuration' section of the plugin, in the 'Subscription Behaviour' box, the very last setting inside that box allows you to specify 'First' or 'Last'. Set it to first. Considering that this history item you created is the first one ever in the 'History/Draft Emails' section. If not, clear your history and then create it.

It seems like your queue is stuck.

Just go to Newsletters > Configuration and click the Save Settings button.

That should get the queue going again.

Also your scheduling settings

First off, start with 50 emails every 5 minutes.

The PHP mail function with socket connections Off are the most reliable settings.

If the queue is stuck, go to 'Configuration' and click 'Save Settings' to reset the schedule interval.

If the problem persists, send us your WordPress login details in a support ticket so we can investigate and help you.

This is a problem on 2.9.1 with version 3.7 of the Mailing list and a bug fix will be realeased shortly
