Richard Thanks for this email. I have done that and used flush(); on the next page. It does seem to be taking a long time and I was wondering if people use other methods. For example, one of the scripts I have seen can use either "mail", "sendmail", or "smtp" as options. I was wondering if going direct to sendmail would be a better approach? The idea is that this database will expand to quite a few thousand in the near future and I want to know that we'll be able to handle it :) The problem is that I "cleverly" added the feature that each email has a salutation which personalized to the persons name!
