Looping the "Send Mail" Script

Featured Replies

Forgive me if this has been answered before.

I'm trying to write a script that will send out a mass email to a found set within my database. I want individual emails, not one email with everyone's address in the To: field. Right now, I have it set up where I can click my email button, have the email sent over to Eudora (without dialog), and then jump to the next record. So, if I want to send the email to 93 people, I'm clicking the button 93 times.

Last night, I thought of looping the Send Mail script and this is what I came up with:

Loop

Send Mail (no dialog, "Subject of Mass Email")

Go to Layout (First Page)

Go to Record (next, exit after last)

End Loop

When I tested this out, it started off working perfectly in sending the emails to my found set, but then something would happen at around the 60th record (of a found set of 93) and an email address wouldn't show up in the message.

Has anyone created a script similar to this? Is there a limit to the number of messages that can be sent to your email program at one time?

After producing your found set, try this:

Go To Record/Request (first)

Loop

Send Mail (whatever parameters apply)

Go to Record/Request (next, exit after last)

End loop

It may be that Eudora has a limit to the number of emails it can have in its queue.
