I would be great if the bounced status of a subscriber would be reset after their email address is changed. I'm aware I can do this in the DB directly, but that's inconvenient.

In the end I searched for cron jobs on my hosting provider, which is Siteground. They have a short guide, but it was enough to point me in the right direction. (https://www.siteground.com/kb/category/tools/cron-jobs/).

So, if you're totally confused by where to put the command php /home/***/public_html/sendy/scheduled.php > /dev/null 2>&1

1. Step 1 is to search for how to create a cron job on # with # being the name of your hosting provider
2. Step 2 is to read those instructions and find the place in your control panel to create cron jobs
3. Step 3 is to insert the command/time interval that appears in the cron job help boxes that are in the relevant places in Sendy

Just wanted to share in case it was helpful for someone else.

I've been sending a newsletter to about 15,000 people, and started doing this about three years ago. I only recently, dimly, realised that I've been sending to Amazon SES's East US servers from a bespoke AWS Lightsail box in Ireland. If you're interested, I can therefore report back that if you send from "the wrong" SES region, your mailing takes about 25% longer to send since I've been able to do that experiment. (If "experiment" means "get everything wrong"). I hope that data point is useful for some here.

My Lightsail box is 1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 40 GB SSD, and only used for Sendy. It only goes up to about 15% CPU use when sending. For resilience, I also use the not-recommended Amazon RDS. That jumps to about 45% CPU use during sending (and sends around 5.5MB/s of network traffic). This is clearly the bottleneck in sending - and I only mention it here because Ben's relatively clear that you shouldn't be using RDS, and this might back him up in that view! I do not, however, ever get any timeouts or issues with sending - it's been super reliable and very excellent.

I'm perfectly happy with Sendy's sending speed. It's fine for my use: but, since I've been reading other threads here about sending speed, thought I'd chime in with my experience in case it helps future users.

First: "All lists" is now sorted by newest list, and it doesn't give me an option to re-sort it by name. I NEED my lists sorted by name. I have over 200 of them, and I named them specifically to be able to find them easily in the list. "Newest" is totally irrelevant to what I need. "By name" is what I need. It's fine to sort it in a different way by default, but can you please make it possible for me to sort it by name?

Second, and even worse: Templates now does the same thing. I really, really, really, really, really need my templates sorted by name, and again, I have no option to do this. "Newest" is beyond irrelevant to what I need. I have them named so that the ones I need the most frequently are in the front where I can find them easily, and the ones I need the most frequently are NOT the newest. Having them sorted by newest, with no way to change this, makes my templates almost an unusable mess.

Third: I'm not fond of the fact that pagination is forced upon us at 10 items per page. I've never liked that, because it makes life a hassle for me, and now that forced pagination on the Lists page as well as everywhere else. Could you give us an option to display more things per page? I've always wanted an option to show 10 / 50 / 100 / All. I'd prefer to display either 50 / 100 (for things like campaigns I've sent) or All (for Templates and Lists).

Fourth: The new Housekeeping tab is great. Could you give us an option to download did "Did not open" and "Did not click" lists, and not just an option to automatically delete them? I would like to be able to download those lists, send them through an unsubscribe sequence to catch anyone who wants to stay. This is important because sometimes people open, but they don't have images enabled, so no mailing list program can tell they've opened. Because that represents a good 1-3% of never-openers, I don't want to automatically delete never-openers; I want to send them through an unsubscribe sequence to catch those few diamonds that are hiding in the rough.

Would it be possible to implement these? I don't know much about programming, so I could be wrong, but it seems to me like these, in theory, shouldn't be too hard to include in a future update.

when using a custom domain all links are using the custom domain which is good.

But the file urls of uploaded images still use the main domain. In my opinion the image urls should use the custom domains as well. I see that there might be a problem with SSL using the CNAME configuration but the better way is to point the A-Record of the custom domain/subdomain to the Sendy installation which enables SSL for the custom domains, too an which would solve the ssl problem for loading images.

btw: there should be subfolders inside /uploads for each custom domain to be able to remove all uploaded files in case of removing a custom domain account.

Thanks and best regards,
Timo

when sending a mail choosing the lists to send the mail to is pretty awkward because

• the Lists in the multi-select field are not orders by name (alphabetically)
• the select field is too small to show all lists
• miss-clicking while scrolling through the list somtimes de-selects all

I think the lists should be orderd in alphabetical order at least, but wouldn't it be a nice approach to insert a separate step "choose recipients" between "design" and "send" using something like checkboxes?

Thanks and best regards,
Timo

The last thing could we have a suppression list that effects all brands so we can add known spam traps so clients using us do not damage our sending reputation?

What is the recommended way we can have a user click on a "Unsubscribe" link to get a subscription maintenance page that lets them confirm an unsubscribe at that remote page? (so the link will have to be loaded with the list id and their email at minimum)

If this isn't possible, I guess this is a feature request - have the unsubscribe link not auto-unsubscribe upon clicking, but require a confirm send be pressed at the destination page.

This would be invaluable given how aggressive anti-spam processes are now.

If Sendy was integrated with Zapier, we could take any Zapier app action-trigger and use it to activate something on Sendy.

Zapier is genius level connectivity between apps. We really need that for Sendy.

Any plans for this in the future?

Thanks!

This is suggestion if it can be done.

Adding an export option for the campaign report would be great, especially as an agency we are dealing with several clients, which requires sending them performance reports regarding their campaigns

In /includes/create/test-send.php on Line 148 simply change to:

$mail->Subject = '[Preview] ' . $title2;

I will have roughly 20-40 brands as I keep inputting, however is there any way of reorganizing the brands so they are in alphabetical order? I have one brand that I do all my testing in as well and tried labeling "++Testing" so it always appears at top of list, but no change in the listing. Looks like brands are just listed simply as they are inputted.

I can't currently delete any of my current brands since they have already sent out campaigns. Can someone help me with this? Thank you in advance.

Thanks!

I need unification of brands, links and sender's emails, for example, if the sender is jhon@mycompany.com all the links inside the email need to be http://mycompany.com/... Why? deliverability, gmail/yahoo/hotmail looks inside the email to get the junk folder, if i get some compliants with one campain, and the campain has links to my sendy installation, another campains (from other clients or brands) will be penalized too.

My first idea was delete traking but i remenber the unsuscribe link, and i really need the unsuscribe link in each email.

My solution:
1) make a dns cname record for the brand: example sendy.otherdomain.com => sendy.mydomain.com

2) modify include/config.php and add after define('APP_PATH', 'http://your_sendy_installation_url'); a new line:
define('APP_HIDEME_PATH', 'http://sendy.otherdomain.com/');

3) modify scheduled.php, includes/create/send-now.php, autoresponders.php and in each line with $html_treated or $plain_treated replace APP_PATH for APP_HIDEME_PATH

Questions:
1) the w, l, and t dot php files will work if in the url have another domain ?

I read this posts :
https://sendy.co/forum/discussion/comment/4637
https://sendy.co/forum/discussion/361/recipients-getting-a-warning-message-when-clicking-our-links/p1
https://sendy.co/forum/discussion/588/switch-off-link-tracking/p1

Problem: 1) my Amazon micro instance is to little for my list sendy, 2) A medium or large instance is not cheap and i need it only in the sending time.

Idea: Has a micro's Sendy for tracking, preparing campains, and a large sendy for send.

Solution:
1) Install Sendy's Database in Amazon RDS
2) Install Sendy's in the microinstance, with the cron's (scheduled.php and import-csv) usinf the database in RDS
3) Install Sendy's in a medium o large instance using exactly the same folder, config.php, and database from the sendy's in microinstance
4) Comment scheduled.php in cron of sendy microinstance
5) Configure the scheduled.php in cron of the sendy medium of large

And now:
1) In the microinstance create a campaign as usual,
2) The campaign will no start (because we don't have cron)
3) Start the medium or large instance (this instance will send the emails)
4) Stop the medium instance at the finish of sending.

It might be quite good if we could specify a remote location in the Sendy backend where such a csv file lives. Then when Drupal (et al) update that file with new users cron could go fetch it and process it.

Instead of automatically unsubscribing an email when the unsubscribe link is clicked, display a prompt for the user to unsubscribe with a confirmation button.

Bonus feature but not as urgent, allow the user to see which lists they are on and pick which to unsubscribe from.

Thanks for the great software, cheers!

Now its clear that 4 users have opened the email, but the system records it as only 2, since only 2 have opened the email in "View images mode". I think by tweaking the track links algorithm we can provide almost the better stats. Let me know what you think.

Thank you.

Here are the few suggestions that I (and probably rest of the users) would like to have:

1. Campaign statistics showing time when email is open / clicked / unsubscribed (so we can decide when is the best time to send emails)

2. Clicking on user to see from which IP he has been subscribed and when (I believe timestamp is already in database)

3. Sent campaign tagging for users with different lists and niches but under same brand

4. Detection of member email client and reporting

Thx,

g.

Thanks!

test1@sampledomain.com
test2@sampledomain
test3@sampledomain.com

on that scenario, only 2 address are imported, and that is correct, but the wrong one, doesnt exist in any place, so we dont have control on that, or the chance to fix some typo,

for example a client provide a 1000 emails database, and import only 900 (besides duplicates off course), so i need to send to my client an csv with the 100 invalid email addreses

do you think that can be implemented?
thanks!
