I am looking to setup an aspect of my cakephp application to handle the emailing of a large number of individuals with a personalized email message. [THIS IS NOT FOR SPAM] I have been looking around and I cant really seem to find anything that handles this situation well.
A couple of the major roadblocks that I have run into are : 1) Persistent connection with the SMTP server. Instead of connecting for one message, I need to be able to connect, send X emails, and then disconnect. There does not seem to be anything out there for this type of behavior 2) The need for personalization in each email. It can not be 1 email with 50 recipients. It would end up being 50 emails each with different information in the body of the email. 3) Request timeout - If I try to send them all at once, the request will time out. I would rather have a setup where an automated process picks up the email and sends them. I have looked into CRON jobs based solutions, found basic queue and deferring processing techniques but nothing really handles this situation, IMHO is a pretty basic problem for any application with users. I know I am basically building a mailing list manager but it is just going to be one aspect of the app. Does anyone have any directions to point me in or ideas for solutions?
