Looking in the stats column it shows 3290 have been sent with none pending.

When I click on the yellow label (3290 sent). It takes me to the list of people who I assume have been sent an email. At the bottom of the page it shows 17707

But the segment I’m sending to contains 18158

So which number can I trust and how can I verify how many email were actually sent and who received them?

I’m using Mautic 4.

Well, server logs or go to the folder var/spool and see how many files are there. Each file is a NON sent email. So subtract the total sent reported by mautic - total files in spool directory.

I checked the spool folder right after posting and it had about 5000 files, which still doesn’t add up. I checked Amazon SES log and that showed 2000 message had been sent. I’ll check it again today.

Mautic itself is now showing:

So that’s not helpful 🙂
