Hmmm, I don't think so. I'd rather not give out addresses of course, but it's the same SMTP server I use for my own email (company mail server). The messages get sent out OK. But the process of connecting and sending each message is so slow that I have to run my process in four or five bursts, picking up each time where I left off. How would it be a reverse DNS issue?

If you try nslookup on the IP of the machine you are using and it does not resolve, that seems to be the problem. Regards, Manuel Lemos

PHP 4.2.3 on Windows. I'm doing a simple query and then emailing each

user

returned by the query within the loop: mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); The problem is that it is so slow.....it times out after 60 or so

emails,

even though I have set_time_limit( 2000 ). Any way to speed this up?

Each

email must be unique, with query data embedded, so I can't just send one single email to all recipients.

You most likely have a reverse DNS record missing problem. What is the address of the machine that you are using PHP to send the messages?
