Well, the Clickthrough Tracker is starting to show it's age: * We shouldn't have to muddle in the source code to do simple things, like reverse the order at which the logs are changed. * And we should be able to set a specific span of time you see clickthroughs from and perhaps ...Continue Reading

But see - that's the catch - I don't know how to figure that out - I know when a message bounces - I *get* the bounce - but how to ...Continue Reading

I have a mail list running right now but it is failing to complete. It is the only one running. I have tried pausing and restarting it. It is constantly refreshing the screen every 10 seconds, displaying a screen that just says: "restarting mailing" Then when it returns to the monitoring page it says: "Mailing Automatically Restarting in: 57 seconds" and then it counts down to 0 and then the process repeats and never gets anywhere. It has only send 46 messages in 17 hours. Occasionally I ...Continue Reading

Am I correct in that this is the correct code to run Mystery Girl as a cron job? I'm on a Mac and set it with the terminal, but it didn't run last night.
