Re: mail() usage in for loops

See answer above. With Qmail and homegrown software, I have several servers sending upwards of 13K emails per minute. All of these are HTML emails with: Custom headers, Custom unsubscribes. I create my email list and break it into files of 500, then loop through those files. I use the phpmailer class to do the sending via the qmail-inject application (allows injecting directly into the mail server, as opposed to putting into a queue).

Dear Michael, When you say batches of 500 , would that mean you put pauses between each batch ? Or do you prepare each email as a file and then send them out in batches of 500? Whats the time space between each batch? Assuming I was stuck with sendmail, what would you recommend ? Thank you for your time sir. Mohan.
