Somehow I feel like the script is ignoring the filters I set for sending out e-mails. It was supposed to send the e-mail to members with more than 0 links, but in the logs I can clearly see that lots of mails have been sent out to members with no links.
Then I wanted to send e-mails to link submitters where links have owner id = 0 so I wouldn't contact the same people all over again. There should have been about 300 emails, but it said that only 1 was sent out.
Are you sure you changed the radio selector in addition to making the selector selections? It can be confusing. If you leave the radio button set to the "send to everyone" option then it doesn't matter what narrow specifications you've selected below.
Sending to ownerid=0 would send only to unregistered guest submitters who left an email address during their link submission. You have 300 of those?

yes, I'm positive.

Yes, I do. Is that unusual? People are lazy sometimes... Or could be left overs from before the quick registration option.
I don't know if it's unusual, I don't own any popular directories.
Does the preview button tell you that it's going to send out an incorrect number of emails, or does the preview say the correct amount but then it actually sends an incorrect amount?
The preview when emailing members gives me an amount, but the preview for emailing link submitters doesn't. This is what I get:
---------------- This email will be dispatched to the owners of the following links:
Sample
Subject: Message Body: Please note: if you want people who own multiple links to get just one email regarding all of them, use and around the area which contains what you want to show an instance of for each link. [...]
Changed it to show the count in both cases in 5.1.39 Beta 1. Then checked various scenarios and the preview counts look correct to me. The actual send query is the same as the preview query so it should involve the same number.
