Re: Email List Scripts?

I agree, and even the limit of the hardware is fairly difficult to reach.. Install Qmail on a 486 and I guess that you will probably still be able to send half-a-million of emails a day... Only three words of advice when using PHP sending email..: 1. Make sure that you register in your database to which addresses a email has send so that you can take-off where you left when something goes wrong or breaks.. 2. Set the time limit to 0 in this script to prevent it from stopping to early.. 3. Run this script via an cgi version of PHP on the command line.. This way when thing go wrong you can stop it immediatly.. Also give it enought output.. This way you can see when the loop goes wrong.. (This way you can prevent a script from accidently sending a few hundred SMS messages to your mobile phone..) Success..
