This just means that it has entered send mode, but doesnt warn you if 
something goes wrong during the send.

Have you upgraded from a pre-1.0.0 version. The older version uses a 
different way to fetch the receivers that is not compatible with 1.0.0+. 
  If you have indeed done such an update, you have to edit the receiver 
record, select the correct receiver types and the save it. That should 
clear your problem.

Also, go to the maintanence part, and make sure that there are no 
invalid lock and stastitics on the page. This is know to happen if the 
mailer crashes.
