That is a much expensive solution because it forces you to queue separate messages for all recipients. Message generation will take period of time that is proportional (if not exponential) to the number of subscribers and it will take much more disk space in the local mailer queue because you will be queueing N distinct messages. An alternative is to have an address to process subscription requests that is handled somehow by a PHP script that can lookup your subscriber list and provide automatic personalized assistance. > I think my ISP also puts a restriction of 100 address' per sent email... or > maybe that's just a rumour :) That is a silly restriction that in reality means something else that usually is, for the money you are paying you are not allowed to do any sort of bulk mailing. If your ISP has that restriction, you'd better ask them if you can do any bulk mailing at all because I guess they don't want you to. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
