You should look at the error logs and see whats up.

[sasiko]

no error logs.

Try sending a ticket to IPS, they will determine if its software related or host related for you.

[sasiko]

yeah i created support ticket  but they wont reply till monday so i was just hoping maybe members can find a solution for me before then

[Aiwa]

Have you double checked your filters to make sure it's actually sending to someone? 

[sasiko]

yeah, the recipients shows 37530 members

i get redirected to The bulk mail has been initiated but it hasnt sending any email 

[sasiko]

i have tried ips email test and i can receive email just fine from my gmail account. im using php email

Try Resend or Delete and Create again

[sasiko]

tried that multiple times, resending, deleting and create again but no success

MySQL server has gone away

this is after failing to send 0 emails

and again error log shows nothing

@Rhett something i noticed when i create  a new bulk email and choose to send to only administrator usergroup it ignores the value and select all usergroup by default

[sasiko]

alright so it seems some users complained that they received 5 emails from me spamming them.

im not happy how buggy this is and never realized that i actually unintentionally spammed my members godawful to unknown number of members now

[sasiko]

EDit  WOW my ip got blacklisted for spamming now. Just because your crappy interface showed 0 email sent so i tried several times to check out the reason whats happening

 

i totally understand why my members reported my ip for spamming. 

[Adlago]

Too bad situation.
Try to clear the cache, and then create a bulk mail to the admin group only.

[sasiko]

yeah i cleared cache again. i cant send bulk email to a specific usergroup, it just simple select all usergroup when i try to send it

[Adlago]

Try logging into the ACP with another browser and selecting a specific group

[sasiko]

tried ff and chrome still cant restrict to specified usergroup.. you cant reproduce this?

[Adlago]

I have no problem with bulk email. Everything works correctly. I can not reproduce your issue.

I think if someone plugin does not interfere...

[sasiko]

ive disabled all plugins and app, cleared cache and still cant send bulk email to specific usergroup. i think its caused by a usergroup that was converted from vbulletin i dont know i will wait for a reply from ips

Don't wish to resurrect this topic but I am having the *exact* same issue that @sasiko is/was having.
I've submitted a ticket to IPS, but would appreciate if anyone can provide some idea as to why this is happening?
