RE: [PHP] Masive mail Advice

It is incredibly easy to write a short little php script that edits a template and submits it directly to qmail-inject; if you're using qmail already php mail()/sendmail is just a wrapper to qmail-inject. I use qmail-inject directly because it allows me to write my own VERP and process bounces against the database. A little Pentium 200 running Linux, MySQL, php4, and qmail with 100 queues can more than saturate a T1 line when used for mailing that way! 800 messages isn't close to being "massive" - that many can be sent in way less than a minute (depending on size, of course - a T1 isn't that big anymore ...). > -----Original Message----- > From: Maciek Ruckgaber Bielecki [mailto:maciek@geekbunker.hn.org] > I'll start to write an application which will be used to send large > amounts of mail to users in a DB.
