Request: Send a blank email to php-general+get-298983@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
I am in charge of an email newsletter list and making sure it gets sent out in time. My problem is I have never done broadcast emailing and right now we have 400 subscribers but want to build a system that can scale well regardless of the number of subscribers. Right now I use mysql to store the email and use phpmailer in a loop to send an email to each of the emails in the db, it is already slow with just 400(takes around 10 min (i think that's slow isnt it?). Has anyone built a broadcast email script and willing to help me?
