Error Sending Emails

In case the SMTP server throws an error when trying to send an email, this email will be marked with message_id=-1.

The system status overview will tell you, how many errors have occurred.

With click on the tool symbol, you can choose between following actions to resolve the situation:

Restart

The faulty entries will be deleted from your system. Depending on the timing and module configuration the system will try to send them again.

Ignore

The faulty entries will be marked, and the system will not try to send them again.

Please check the configuration of your SMTP server in case you get many errors. Some SMTP-Server might be configured to send only emails with a specific sender domain. So for a different sender-domain the SMTP-Server will quit with an error.
