Email Failures

0 votes

I'm having occasional email failures, when sending emails as part of a business rule. About 90% are going through fine, but the other 10% are failing. I created a custom command with the same email, and if I manually fire that off for the user it will go through. I checked my email server logs, but I don't see the email coming through. Are there additional logs somewhere that will tell me more?

Hello Ryan,

Take a look at Adaxes Event Log for any errors and/or warnings that may be related to the issue. For information on how to view it, see the following help article: http://www.adaxes.com/help/?ServiceAdmi ... ntLog.html.

Ryan,

To send emails, we use the standard .NET send mailer provided by Windows, and the error is returned by the mailer. As far as we managed to dig from the available information, the issue can be that you are simply sending emails too often.

Thanks for taking a look. If you could add this as something to be improved in the future I'd appreciate it. I'm using this for a password change notification email, and of course we have a lot of users going through the process right away, so maybe a few bursts of 5-10 emails within a minute or two, but nothing too crazy. For now I'm just watching the log, and manually triggering emails for any that fail initially.

Ryan,

Thanks for the suggestion!

By the way, how is the password change triggered? Do you users do it manually or is it some kind of a Scheduled Task, Custom Command or something like that?

Our users are doing the password change manually through the web interface. We are a K-12 school district and our users are spread across multiple operating systems, so forcing a password change through the built-in AD tools isn't ideal as it can't touch all users. Once a year, we send a mass email instructing staff to change their password, and now with Adaxes we're pointing them to the self service web interface. So far it's working really well!
