It ran 3 times without problems. We ran it intermittently throughout the day. Suddenly it stops sending. Sometimes you will get the first 2 emails then it stops.Watching the EMailFolder we see it slows right down when emails are 'not' being sent. Webcat's email log list them as if they have been sent.Restarting WebDNA does nothing. Rebooting the server starts them going again for a while.We have tried using the mailserver's IP number in the WebDNA preferences with no change.We can reproduce this on both WebDNA servers.Anyone else reproduce this...[loop start=1&end=10&advance=1] [SendMail to=test@ouraddress.com&from=server@ouraddress.com&subject=Test-[index]] [loop start=1&end=100&advance=1] This is test email [index].
