note 60808 deleted from function.mail by cece

Note Submitter: BlueFlare Reason: useless ---- If you must send e-mail to multiple addresses stored in your database using a loop, and you do not have access to the PEAR packages mentioned above, then a simple fix would be to use the sleep() function to put some time in between each call to the mail() function. For example: $emailQuery = "SELECT EMail FROM Customers WHERE OptIn='1'"; $result = mysql_query($emailQuery) or die ("Query Failed: ".mysql_error()); $rec = mysql_fetch_array($result); while($rec) { //Allow up to 10 attempts to send a message $retries = 10; while ($retries > 0) { if(mail($rec['EMail'], $mailingRec['Subject'],$htmlText,$headers)) { //A simple counter used to check success rate $messagesSent++; break; } $retries--; //1 second delay per retry; sleep(1); } $rec = mysql_fetch_array($result); } This may take some time to complete depending on the size of your mailing list.
