I run a qmail server. When I send out newsletters, I run a query and extract the mailing addresses I need. Then I build a .qmail file (similar to sendmail's alias file), and finally I send mail to that .qmail (alias). The mail is queued once and all recipients listed in the .qmail file gets a copy. It is a solution that works for me so don't tell me that that is a virtual solution :) The fact is that a solution that relies solely on PHP would probably be too slow, unreliable and messy.I also use qmail but I don't use any .qmail file. I just use qmail-inject puting all receipients in BCC. It always takes less than 3 seconds. What really takes some time is the extraction of addresses from a SQL database. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
