Mark, once again thank you for your valued expertise...
With regards to the failed thousand invitations submission via the Web UI:
The admin CGI is processing the mass subscribe/invite list. While it is doing this it is not generating any output. If it takes 'too long' the web server will time out waiting for output from the CGI.
Makes perfect sense. (I wonder if MM3 uses Ajax or other web techniques to provide some sort of progress indicator to prevent this from happening.)
So when Apache timed out, would it have killed the admin CGI on the way out? In other words, would the admin script still run to completion and send out all the invitations from that batch? Or is it most likely to have been a partial run? Am I correct that the only place I will find a record of the invitations sent will be in the Sendmail mail logs? I'd like to avoid sending dup invites if possible.
Thanks for pointer to the command line invitation script. I'll add it to my growing arsenal.
