I can now access the URL without error, so that problem is solved. However, my test mails are still not being generated.Nothing is queued and nothing is set.

At this point, not sure if it my Cron job that is incorrect, as I am unfamiliar with Cron jobs, and my host is not that helpful; or it is something is my config that I just do not have set up correctly and nothing is being triggered.

I created a test sub,that is 30 minutes and the mailer is supposed to send a notification 15 min prior to the expiry.

Please review the screen shot, and let me know if my config is correct

I set the Cron job to every 5 minutes.
This is what the Cron job emails me-

Thanks for that, that is helpful.

I created a very simple test with the following settings
Subject- Test
Body-Test
Send email in txt
From Name- Bonsai BCI
From Email address- our email address
Main Mailer Triggering Conditions
Automatically send message at following date - after 5 minutes
Relative to this date of the plans below - Subscriptions Subscription Date (I am assuming that would be the date the sign up took place)
Must be in state Active
But do not send message if it's later than7 Days after

The rest are default settings

I then deleted my test user subscription and subscribed new to my test plan, which I changed the period from 30 minutes to two days. So, what I was expecting to happen, is 5 minutes after signing up again, the test email would go into the queue.


I waited 5 minutes or so and pasted the first URL to add to mail queue and alas, nothing happens.


Am I on the mark for logic in my settings? And if so, what would be my next step?

Doing some more research on Cron jobs

Connecting to testserver.bonsai-bci.com|69.89.31.158|:80... connected.

Specifying /dev/null into your Cron job removes error messages.
The "200 - Okay" is not as positive as it sounds

200 is permission denied

So, I guess that would indicate something on the server end
