But the thing i really know is that if i want to do intensive mailings, PHP starts returning errors... (i discovered it with a little program that sent 500 emails). And i wonder... Is PHP capable of tracking which email hasn't been sent to the server? If so, it could be possible to repeat the mail() function to send the unsent email.
