That doesn’t sound right… Can you confirm that your newsletter attempt is in the log? Tools > Email Log
I have a feeling your newsletter plugin is bypassing both wp mandrill and Postman.
Snip from Controlpanel:
—
Postman is configured and has delivered 216 emails.
Postman will send mail via the 🔐Mandrill API.
—
Its the same with Tools>Email log
Its my testsystem, with a copy of livedata, so we can do anything. Just let me know.
hmm.. hold your horses.. testing some more.. will return
I haven’t heard of MassMailing. Where can I find it? I want to open it and see what’s going on.

It behaves reasonably (found one non-significant error)
1) It calls messages_new_message() in buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-functions.php
2)messages_new_message() calls send() in buddypress/bp-messages/classes/class-bp-messages-message.php
No loops before send(), but there the code becomes to complicted for me… 😉
When a mail(pm)) is sent to all members, the website is frozen.. 216 mails have been sent
Postman is configured and has delivered 216 emails.
Ok. I understand now. So instead of creating a single email message with 216 recipients, mass messaging, or buddy press, is creating 216 emails each with a single recipient. That’s stupid :p No wonder it times out.
Definitely looks like the mail queuing plugin is your answer!!
You might want to post a message on Mass Messaging questioning this behaviour. I don’t see how that could work anywhere with more than a couple hundred users.
You are absolutely right, but the problem seems to be in BuddyPress.. fortunately, as this is beeing further developed.
