My network is too big and too many emails are sent. I have many problems with Spamhaus and similar, set the IP as bad, I complain and reactivated but lasts a few days.

I intend to uncheck the option Subscribe to newsletter profile/preference for all users (see picture).

In that table that information stored?SQL order in which it should arrange to get this?

What I try is to change this option and do not send anything.

The ideal was an option that was in early versions of Oxwall sending every 7 days, but removed.

In my case, which sends the plugin Reminder Notifications I have enough

Thank you very much for your contributions

Quote from Tammy i have told you how to fix your problem if you dont listen then its your bad luck 

how stupid to stop your site send mail how u expect ur site to grow and get new members 


And I told you that I apply, (already done), and taste. It will take days to see if it works.

But I really do not need those thousands of emails, with one every week to members who have not connected enough envíne.

No need to use cranky with me, and I thanked him for his contribution.

Additional explanation:Of course I want my site to grow, but do not need to shell out emails to those already registered but yes who are not registered.

Thanks, DeFender, but what I want is that no emails are sent, unchecking the option "Subscribe to newsletter" for all users, but if I want to continue showing on screen.

Patricia, in this case you will need to run this sql query


DELETE FROM `ow_base_preference_data` WHERE `key` = 'mass_mailing_subscribe';
UPDATE `ow_base_preference` SET `defaultValue`='false' WHERE `key` = 'mass_mailing_subscribe' ;
