Troubleshooting |
|
• Rejected by server |
Message was rejected by remote SMTP server due to their antispam settings. Most of large smtp servers do not accept mail from home computers (with dial-up or cable IP addresses). You need to send mail via external SMTP server, it's strongly recommended. Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP and add SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or hosting service. |
|
• Transaction failed • No such address • User not local |
Usually it happens when you try to send mail via an external SMTP server that requires authentication, i.e. username / password. Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP, double click at the server name and change Authentication type. The most popular type is ESMTP. CRAM and DIGEST are used at the less number of servers, POP before SMTP is too old, not recommended to use. Note for hotmail.com - please check HELO value, it's very important. Open Settings / Common Settings / Mailer and check value of HELO there. It must be the same as at www.massmailsoftware.com/ip. |
|
• Remote server not answer • Connection refused • Can not access Internet • DNS Server not responding |
Atomic Mail Sender can not access the Internet or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) does not allow direct email delivery. 1. Please check your firewall and antivirus settings. These programs may block other applications to access network (ZoneAlarm, Panda, AVP, McAfee, Norton, Symantec Internet Security). 2. Make sure your ISP allows direct email delivery. Otherwise you will need to use your ISP SMTP server for sending out mail. Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP and add SMTP server of your ISP SMTP there (you can find a list of SMTP servers of popular providers here). 3. If there is a problem with DNS, please try to use Custom DNS (change it in Common Settings / DNS). Try to enter public worldwide DNS server - 204.101.251.2 |
|
• SMTP syntax error |
Usually it happens if you enter username / password in SMTP server settings when it's not required. Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP, double click at the server name and change Authentication to Not required. |
|
• Authentication failure • Error in SMTP AUTH |
You have an error in username or password used to access external SMTP server. Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP, then double click at the server name in the list and correct username and password there. Note 1: Make sure CAPS LOCK is not pressed - it's important! Note 2: Some SMTP servers require username "user@mail.com" instead of "user", please investigate. |
|
• Mailbox is full |
Recipient's mailbox is full. Not all people use Gmail with 2Gb mailboxes. Some have very small mailboxes. |
|
• Error 421 |
It's temporary e-mail delivery failure. Usually it happens if there are too many connections from you to the smtp servers. Please decrease Threads Count in Common Settings, or Speed Limit. |
|
• Delivering... forever |
f you see Delivering... for a long time (say more than a minute), you need to check the following: 1.Your message is really large and Atomic Mail Sender needs much time to deliver it. 2. Atomic Mail Sender is completely blocked by your antivirus or firewall and cannot access the Internet. Please double-click an e-mail address in "Send Mail Monitor" window of the program (or use right button menu). |

You can set the number of messages you want to send simultaneously in Settings / Common settings / Mailer settings tab. You should change threads count to the number you need. It cannot be more than 100.
If I use mass mailer to reach a certain market segment does that go through my ISP? I'm worried about getting spam reports and being bumped by my server. It sounds like this program has a work-around designed to solve that problem. Does it?
Atomic Mail Sender has its own built in SMTP server. This allows you to bypass your ISPs server and deliver the messages directly to the recipients inbox. Atomic Mail Sender delivers e-mail without using any other servers. (The message is not logged or stored on any servers, other than the receiving one, making it available only to the recipient.) But some providers don't accept mail from SMTP servers located on the dial-up computers, that's why some mail should be delivered using your ISP.
Why messages are sent, but not received (or stay in Junk / Spam folder instead of the "Inbox")
There are few typical reasons why sent messages are not received or delivered to Junk folder:
- Change delivery type to External SMTP only.
Most of large mail systems do not accept mail from home computers (dial-up or cable IP addresses). It's strongly recommended to send mail via external SMTP servers (of your Internet Service Provider or hosting). Please open Settings / Common Settings / SMTP and change delivery type to External SMTP only, then enter SMTP server address.
- Check return e-mail address.
Open message properties (F3 or More... button), make sure that you use valid e-mail address. Many mail servers reject mail delivered from fake e-mail addresses.
- Check message content.
Make sure your message does not look like spam. Eg. Your message shouldn't contain any spam words such as "VIAGRA, CIALIS FOR FREE" etc. Such messages are automatically blocked by all antispam software. Please create good looking messages. Try deliver e-mail message to yourself to make sure it works.
I don't see any instructions on how to bring the emails I've collected into Outlook Express for use in an email campaign.
Atomic Email Logger plug-ins can extract emails from Outlook, Eudora, The Bat! and Outlook Express. Here is a link to learn more about them: http://www.massmailsoftware.com/extractfiles/
I have registered my program and started mass-mailing. Why is this running slow? Please let me know!
The process can be slow because of the message size. Try not to attach many files. Also, HTML-bases messages go twice slower then text-based email. You can choose Format / Plain text message to change the message type.
You can also try setting the number of messages you want to send simultaneously: Settings / Common settings / Mailer and enter your number. But it shouldn't be a very large one, for example 300.
Can this software be used for more than one emailing list?
Yes, you can create as many lists as you want.
Is there a way to personalize the emails I send out without having to enter them manually?
Open AMS Help / How to... / personalize the mailing for more info.
Can I merge the composed email message with my mailing list and other data?
About email merging, please refer to this page.
Can Bulk Emailer be setup to pause for X seconds or minutes between each email being sent?
Sorry, but there is not such option in the current version. You can try decrease the threads count in Common Settings window. It can help.
When I try to send to a list of test recipients I get the message 'the host is not reachable at this time'
You should try again later. If it doesn't work, please send us the error log.
