Tobias Struckmeier	Thursday 16 August 2007 10:01:55 am Hi andre, the reason is simply that ez publish prevents the parallel running a cronjob two times at once. Maybe you execute the cronjob too often. When you have a huge list of subscribers and/or a small server/mailserver it needs time to send out all newsletters. eZ Publish will try to force it after 12hours of running time so I assume the sendout is still running. Have you checked the php error log? Have you checked ez publish logfiles for errors? Are there php cli processes running for a long time? Do you run it on linux or windows? cheers Tobias
