Acajoom Plus Problems - 2007/02/06 01:05 I am experienceing a number of problems with AcaJoom Plus and need to find out if there are any resolutions.

1) I sent out a newsletter on Friday to all my subscribers. Over the next two days, all of the them recived that exact newsletter twice more. I only sent this newsletter once. I have received a number number of complaints that I am spamming my subscribers.

2) I received an unsubscribe notice eventhough I did not unsubscribe.

3) In order to get the auto-responder to work, I was told to set up a cron job. The auto repsonder is now periodically sending the same email repeatedly throughout the week. I don't want the auto responder to send anything out periodically, I just want to send out a welcome letter when someone subscribes.

Because I am receiving complaints that I am spamming my subscribers to death, I removed the cron job, and unpublished all the newsletters and auto-responders and have been sending out the updates manually. Please help!

Thanks!

Tom

We would like to look at your case in more details. Could you contact me through the support email or the one you received the order.

Re:Acajoom Plus Problems - 2007/02/13 04:52 I have narrowed down the duplicate mailing issue. Someone keeps going to the

index.php?option=com_acajoom&act=cron page.

Every time someone visits that link, the last mailing unpublishes itself and sends out another set of emails.

I currently have the Acajoom cron set to send out a max of 1 email so it won't continuously spam people throughout the week, but how do I turn this feature off?

It seems to me that this could be a security issue. I could literally go to any site that Acajoom Plus is installed and wreak havoc by repeatedly hitting this link. Talk about a DOS attack waiting to happen. Any plans to fix this?

Thanks!

Re:Acajoom Plus Problems - 2008/06/18 18:13 I have the same problem - how did you set the acajoom to send out a max of 1 email?

I use JCron for the cron job, and noticed that everybody got three emails for the same sending - I guess that's because JCron run the cron command every time anyone logged into the site.

Re:Acajoom Plus Problems - 2008/06/18 21:31 Hello hstrom,

I highly advise you to remove JCron and to use a real cron service. You can use our free cron task (http://www.joobisoft.com)

JCron is not a good component at all as it's based on user visits. *** Please, read our official documentation before posting. Thank you ***

Best regards,
Jonathan
