Re: Sending out mass mail without having timeout problems ..

Wouldn't it be easier (better) to create a sendmail alias include file that has all the addresses in it and let sendmail or majordomo or qmail or whatever handle it? I'm not knocking your method as much as I'm looking for the pros and cons of the different methods. jim

the way I handle this is to send a response to the browser before sending any mail you can then close the browser window and the script will carry on while you do something else. I get the script to send me an email when its finished 2-3 hours later. (I have around 6000 newsletters that are sent out) Paul Roberts roberts_paul@bigfoot.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ----- Original Message ----- To: "bain" <bain@thos.co.za> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:39 AM Subject: [PHP] Sending out mass mail without having timeout problems .. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
