Hi Dan,

Thank you for getting back.

I will try your suggestion and will advise with the result. As for the limit in the number of emails my server can send, I think that's not the problem. Because I am on VPS (Virtual Private Server), not a shared hosting. VPS can send unlimited emails per day depending on the specs. But still, I will try asking my hosting provider regarding the issue on the limit of 100/hour as per your calculation.

So, I guess I''l have to try your suggestions on the mail queue settings. I will get back to you then.

Thank you.

Hello,

When you say "Link Tracking" are you referring to URL CLICK STATISTICS or CAMPAIGN CLICK STATISTICS or the number of Views in VIEW OPENS?

I am only using Views in the View Opens for PHPList.

I use Google Analytics on some of my links within my newsletter and on the newsletter page itself.

I have 40 bounces so far from my mailing from yesterday. None of the bounces have any of the 404 errors you show below.

I checked my Google Analytics Pageviews versus PHPList Views and they are nearly the same, so far. Google Analytics is showing a little higher than the PHPList Views.

I only have about 1/2 of the views so far as the newsletter just finished sending about 2 hours ago. The numbers will populate at a high rate as people read my newsletter over the next 10 to 20 hours and then drop off over the next couple of days.

What type of percentage opens are you seeing on the PHPList views? I am seeing average of about 10 to 12%

I'll watch this for a while to see if the two page views diverge at any point.

Thanks for sharing and your insights,
Mark

Here are some ideas on what to try...
By the way, you have updated this line in your config.php file, correct?:
https://resources.phplist.com/system/my ... qli-update
Even though it is possible to re-use the old config.php, you should use the new version that came with 3.0.12, and edit it with the settings from your old config.php

#1: This may not work, in that the system uses cookies and session tokens, so you might need to provide those on the http url... (this is done by using a script to submit a url, read the cookie and session token, and then use them to construct the 'use once' url.

#2: Your a. Zend Engine (php) is out of date and needs to be updated.
b. the timezone settings between the php/apache and the database need to be updated/synced. Try loading this plugin to fix:
https://resources.phplist.com/plugin/timezone

you have a mix of 'filesystem path' and 'website path' on this... you would want to use the file system path only, for example:

/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/http://lista.midominio.com/admin/index.php -p processqueue -c /var/www/http://lista.midominio.com/config/config.php

change to:
/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/lists/index.php -p processqueue -c /var/www/html/lists/config/config.php

you would need to verify the /html/lists/ path, or change that to match the full file system path on your system (this is where the different hosting services vary, and it varies by the hosting service vendor, the type of computer you specify, and the type of account you have).

Here's a specific example of what works on my server:
/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/lists/admin/index.php -p processqueue -c /var/www/html/lists/config/config.php

#3: I see these kinds of messages when using /usr/bin/php on the commandline, but I should be using /usr/bin/php-cli
