Hello, hoping someone can help here!

I'm having an issue with this plugin saying users are banned. I've set up the in built Gmail service and test emails/digest/registration emails etc are all working wonderfully.

I have the newsletter plugin installed (and I reinstalled it to see if this helped, it didn't) and every time I try to send a newsletter I get a message saying successfully sent, but no email arrives. Looking at the logs, I'm getting the following:

13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] UID 2 is attempting to send a newsletter.
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] Sending newsletter to groups: "everyone"
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - warn: [Newsletter] UID 1 has invalid user data, skipping...
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] UID 2 is banned, skipping...
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] UID 3 is banned, skipping...
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] UID 4 is banned, skipping...
13/10 09:07:37 [7395] - info: [Newsletter] Successfully sent newsletter to 0 user(s)!

UID1 is the admin account I think, which does not have an email address associated with it. UID2 is my account, also with adminstrator privileges, and I am definitely not banned...

Has anyone run into this problem before? I have tried using every single email plugin with the same results, although given that the other email functions are working and its saying sent to 0 users, i suspect its some other issue rather than email authorization. Appreciate any help!

Cheers,
Craig

@craig

I pushed version 0.7.1 to the admin panel, which I think should fix this. Let me know. Thanks!

Thank you very much

@yariplus Sir When sending an email newsletter is it includes Banned Users When we select Everyone?

[yariplus]

@Varun-Ganesh-D It does not include banned users. They are always excluded from newletters.

I just tried to notify all unverified users to verify email

[אשר]

thank you

[baris]

@varun-ganesh-d You can disable require email confirmation temporarily, send the emails and then re-enable it. We will have to look into a solution, right now the emailer doesn't send emails to unverified emails.

[Varun Ganesh D]

@baris OK
But where should i disable email verified temporary?
Inside Privileges??
Waiting for next Updates

Getting this error while sending emails
Why?

[PitaJ]

@varun-ganesh-d what is your email setup?

[Varun Ganesh D]

@pitaj Amazon SES
Btw it got solved by unchecking Pooled connection option

[yariplus]

v0.9.2

Updated plugin to support one-click unsubscribe links and unsubscribe headers.

Also added a new message to the email footer if an admin chooses the "override subscription settings" option.

[Musikschule Fröhlich]

Hello,
this is a very helpful plugin.

The technical administrator rarely sends out the newsletters, therefore the question:

Would it be possible to use the plugin without admin rights? e.g. global moderators.

We would not like to release the entire administration.

Thank you in advance.
