I'm trying to set up a list manager on a hosted site. PHPlist (phplist.com) seemed promising but I read on their forums that it takes some users hours and hours to send a couple thousand emails. Without terminal access, I suspect the PHP sending page will time out long before most of my emails have been sent.

You're comparing apples to oranges here. The amount of time it takes to send the mails isn't based on PHPList but on: 1) The MTA being used to send the mails and 1a) how that MTA is configured 2) Available bandwidth [snip]

So, you can see, the mailer is less dependent on the frontend (PHPlist, to use your example) than on the underlying server architecture.

Thanks for explaining. I'll have to ask my hosting provider about the details. /Mattias
