Just FYI

The latest sending to over 18,000 went out in just under two hours That's an improvement It would have been a lot faster actually, but about a dozen times it stopped sending for as much as two minutes

When it stopped for over a minute, it would reload the message and under the progress bar a line of text would come up that said the message had stopped sending Most times it would reload the message several times, taking up to two minutes, before it would start again (a page comes up that only contains 'restarting the message'), and often on the 2nd or 3rd reload, it would kick out with a 500 server error I got about a dozen 500 server errors See below

I found that if I unclicked the 'refresh this screen every ten seconds box' on the progress bar page and just let it run without monitoring the sending, it did so with no server errors Once in a whlle I'd click it on again to see where I was and then click it off again

Below are the 500 server errors and a summary of the 664 errors in the error log I imagine that order is important, but it wasn't feasible to include the entire log here in this email so I simply included a count of each error I could send you a copy under separate cover if you wish
