Using mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers) takes way too long when attempting to mail to 30k people. This seems to be a result of a socket being opened for each send. Is there a better way to approach this situation via php?Under Unix/Linux, PHP itself does not open any sockets to queue messages with the mail function. If you are using Unix/Linux with sendmail there are some options that can be tweaked to make it just queue the message instead of trying to deliver the message immediately. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
