Hello people,
I am running IMail 5.01 on the office network, and need to regularly send
mails to our multiple mailing lists.
Recently we upgraded our network to a mySQL database storing the email
addresses, and anytime I wish to send mail to one list, the (PHP) code
generates a list of email addresses dynamically. The code now opens a socket
on IMail port 25, and sends the body to each recipient, SMTP commands
detailed below:
HELO xxx
MAIL FROM: (me)
RCPT TO: (rcpt 1)
DATA
(body)
.
RSET
MAIL FROM: (me)
RCPT TO: (rcpt 2)
DATA
(body)
.
RSET
(and so on)
QUIT
Now the problem is that the recipients of this list get 2 or sometimes more
copies of the email. But it gets stranger. If I am sending mails to two
lists, the people on the first list get one copy of the email, but the list
I send AFTER this gets two copies. Sometimes people have recd 4 copies!
So my question is what am I doing wrong? Or better still, what is the best
way to send email to a dynamically generated email list?
I'd really appreciate any help,
Nikhil Goyal
