Mass Mail problem

Whenever I try to send a Mass Mail i'm getting a blank page after I try to send it. I'm using the latest Raven Nuke and bb2nuke 2.0.20. Anyone have any idea what could be doing it?

well mass mail is something you shouldnt use..
it overrides the members settings not to receive mails.

to figure out what the problem could be is to turn on your error report in your config.php file.

A lot of servers have severe restrictions on the number of emails that can be sent. I use Ipowerweb for instance and their restrictions make mass email totally unusable. You might want to check with your server web hosting company before beating your head against the wall further.

A solution I use is to extract the email addresses to a bcc (just dump them to the screen) and copy them into a gmail message. Gmail allows up to 500 addresses in a single message so I break my users up into 500 address blocks. I can post the script if it turns out to be useful, but first check on your limits.

Doesnt that makes the email addresses viewable to every person that gets the mail?

No. In a word. bcc stands for blind carbon copy and if you put the email address in there each person just sees their own address.
