RE: [PHP] Sending alots of mail

I use qmail to handle all my PHP generated mail. It does a wonderful job. One small coding error sent almost 1000 e-mails to one address in about 30 seconds. It's fast! -----Original Message----- From: Jimmy Bäckström [mailto:broder_b@chello.se] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 9:46 AM To: Daniel Adams Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: SV: [PHP] Sending alots of mail Hmm that's what I thought about. But I think the system I'll be using uses qmail. I've heard that qmail does things better than sendmail? /Jimmy ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Adams <danno@wpi.edu> To: Jimmy Bäckström <broder_b@chello.se> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 6:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Sending alots of mail I did something like that once. Mine sent only about a few hundred at a time and it was still quite a strain on the system because you have a TON of sendmail processes started and running at the same time. Just be aware of the possible system load. - dan On Thu, 16 Aug 2001, Jimmy Bäckström wrote: > Hi list! > 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.
