Body: <p>We sent out a pre-event bulk email to all event attendees on Nov 3.

Comments.Text: Could you say more about your mailing environment?  Do you use a third-party mailer like Amazon SES or CiviSMTP?  Or do you mail directly from the same server Civi is located on?  If the latter, do you have access to the mail logs of your server?

Title: Mailing taking weeks to complete

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-11-30)
  
  We sent out a pre-event bulk email to all event attendees on Nov 3. Today, we were informed by someone who just received their email today (Nov 30 - I can confirm in her message header that it arrived to her mailbox Nov 30, it wasn't that she just didn't see it until today).

  The Successful Deliveries Report (Mailings > Scheduled & sent Mailings > Report > Successful Deliveries) should show you the time each person was sent their email. You can also look at the mailings tab on each recipient.
  
  I tested this on a sandbox where the **Send Scheduled Mailings** job was not active and set the **Mailer Batch Limit = 1**, and **Mailer Throttle Time = 120000**.
  
  I had to execute the job manually multiple times, once for each email to go out. Perhaps your job did not process fully and then finished the next time it was run.
