Re: SV: [PHP] Sending alots of mail

Another alternative is to send the email message via majordomo or some other mail list management utility. The trick is how to manage the list (subscribe and unsubscribe). You have to make the decision whether or not you want to use the MLM or your PHP/database application as the primary control. Then write your scripts to integrate the two. /dkm ----- 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 1:30 PM Subject: Re: SV: [PHP] Sending alots of mail > I've heard that qmail is better for a lot of things and easier to > configure, but I've never actual used it.

I haven't done this kind of apps before, so I don't know if it's a good idea.
