Re: Mail problem with more than 1k users

Hello. I wrote a PHP script that will pull records from a database (emails) and then mail something to the emails in the result set. Pretty simple and it worked. Now that the database has over 1 thousand records I began to experience performance problems. I figured that my problem was that Sendmail does not process emails that have more than x number of emails. So I re-designed the script to send emails in parts. 500 emails per header. But after the database reached more than 3,000 records the emailing did not work at all. Sendmail refused to send to any of the emails in the database result set. Any thoughts?

I am not sure what you mean by 500 emails per header. Anyway, if you are personalizing messages, ie send a message per user, avoid that at all costs and if possible send a single message to all users. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
