Sorry I forgot to ask, does your host allow you to run cron jobs at least every 5 minutes? If so, how about 1 minute?

Thanks.

                Hi Parker,

I have no experience with Objective C though. Are you the developer of your iOS app? If you can do a HTTP POST in your code, you'll be able use Sendy's API to POST data to your Sendy installation.

Thanks.

'888' was changed to '892' in 1.1.5.1 on Mar 1st (the first update after 1.1.5) to prevent conflicts in characters inside the encrypted IDs.

Not sure how your instance was setup, I'm using Amazon EC2 (Amazon Linux AMI, t1.micro) instance on LAMP stack without any problems.

PM me your EC2 user name and SSH key.

There's no native way to count the total number of emails sent per brand at this time. I'll put this up under the suggestions category and will consider it for future updates.
