Request: Send a blank email to php-general+get-112258@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
Is the mail() function blocking or non-blocking? Does anyone know how I can make it non-blocking? I don't want to have my script waiting on mail() to return ... Also I read that mail() should not be used for large volumes of mail. How large is "large"? Can mail() handle a couple of messages per second? If not what other alternatives are there for sending mail using PHP? Jc
