Sending out mass mail without having timeout problems ..

Hi all I've been working on a system for our company that uses MySQL to grab user data and then send personalized mail to them once a month. currently I step thought the mysql result mailling one mail per return. as you can imagine .. my script timeout value is sitting on 24hours to allow all the mail in our big database to go throught. Is there a way I can fork or thread the mail send process so I can send more then one mail at a time .. or maybe even buffer the MySQL result and send the mail in the background but still return the browser .. any sugestions .. please -- Henti Smith Systems Administrator The House Of Synergy http://www.thos.co.za bain@thos.co.za +27 11 259-9821 -- Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around us in awareness. -- James Thurber
