Re: MailBomb Problem...

Edit your php.ini file and edit your sendmail_path directive. The default is "sendmail -t -i". Add the correct -o switch (don't remember it offhand) to have sendmail just queue the email instead of trying to deliver right away. Then set up sendmail to deliver the queue at regular intervals. -Rasmus On Sun, 21 Jan 2001, ewiz wrote: > I am facing a problem where some users on the server are using php > mail() function to mail a list of users in taken from mysql db(around > 5000 users, but not spam), but this is getting the system crashed due to > excessvie loads and if I limit the delivery load on exim than even > geninue mail is getting holded up. > > so is there anyway to limit the number of emails or delay the mails from > the nobody user( which is the apach+php user which mails) or make PHP > use a remote server than the local sendmail ? > > any help would be apperciated. > TIA > > ewiz > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
