How to Stop a Direct Mailer Job

You can stop a Direct Mailer job while it is running. As soon as a Direct Mailer job has been stopped, the job status will switch to Inactive (1). After the job is restarted, the job will automatically restart where it left off.

If SQL Server becomes unavailable, Direct Mailer retries until a connection to the database is made, or until the configured number of retries elapses. If the configured number of retries elapses or a connection to the database is made, the status remains Running (3) because the status cannot be updated in SQL Server. When SQL Server becomes available again, you can restart the job, or restart Direct Mailer. For information about how to restart Direct Mailer, see How to Restart Direct Mailer.
