I sent a bulk invite and received this message. [10%20PM] I see no indication that any email was sent other than that, nothing any logs or admin display. Even my email provider is not showing a spike in the number of sent emails. Is it possible that the “invites mailed” part of the message is no…

I see my error. I left the column names in the csv file. I don’t want to spam my users. Is it safe to assume the bulk email was not sent in spite of the 840 invites mailed message?

My guess would be they were all sent, and the error was only for the first row with the column name. Maybe @techAPJ can confirm.

I don’t see anything that looks like bulk email sent in /admin/email/sent. Might there be a log entry elsewhere I’m missing? Another thing that may be of interest. I expected to have a dialog window similar to the one when sending a single invite but there was not. Is that normal behavior?

[image] techAPJ: Are you seeing any recent email sent entry on /admin/email/sent ? Can you try sending test email from /admin/email and see if that creates log entry? (it should.) Test message to myself works fine and it shows up in `/admin/email/sent’ as do many recent others. [27%20PM]

One other thought. These email address are staged users imported from our Mailman list. Will bulk invite send email to staged users?

[image] tisawyer: These email address are staged users imported from our Mailman list. Will bulk invite send email to staged users? I just tested this on my own site with a staged user’s email address in the bulk invite CSV file. The response I got from Discourse was: Your bulk user invite …

Should this be fixed @techAPJ ?

What is your outbound mail server? Mailgun and mandrill provide very handy insight into emails sent through them. You can see every email.

Hey guys, @codinghorror @techAPJ , Any update on this?
