Anybody knows an efficient algo for mass mailing 3000+ members (and growing) with :
1. email address being pulled from MySQL?
2. does not timeout (what else is new :D)
Here's how i figure my options:
1. Extract email_addr from MySQL then sent them one at a time (most likely will timeout...)
2. Extract all email_addr from MySQL, store into one huge array (what about memory overhead?) then :
a. sent them one at a time (will also likely to timeout...)
b. collect and send every "x" email address (most possibly will show at their "TO: email field" - not wanted)
