Re: Sending alots of mail

I have done this, and it's not a bad idea as long as you aren't sending spam. It's rather easy to do this, just do a mysql_query() from the database where you select the subscribers field and then do a while which sends out emails via the mail()-function. You may experience problem with max execution time if you're using a bad mailserver but it can be solved by simply extending the max execution time in php.ini or in just the specific script.

I'm about to write an application that takes about 5000 mailadresses from a database, and then sends a mail to each one of them. I haven't done this kind of apps before, so I don't know if it's a good idea. Does anyone have any suggestions? /Jimmy
