RE: [PHP] Masive mail Advice
It is incredibly easy to write a short little php script that edits a template and submits it directly to qmail-inject; if you're using qmail already php mail()/sendmail is just a wrapper to qmail-inject. I use qmail-inject directly because it allows me to write my own VERP and process bounces against the database. A little Pentium 200 running Linux, MySQL, php4, and qmail with 100 queues can more than saturate a T1 line when used for mailing that way! 800 messages isn't close to being "massive" - that many can be sent in way less than a minute (depending on size, of course - a T1 isn't that big anymore ...). > -Original Message- > From: Maciek Ruckgaber Bielecki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > I'll start to write an application which will be used to send large > amounts of mail to users in a DB.

[PHP] Masive mail Advice
Hi there Guys! I'll start to write an application which will be used to send large amounts of mail to users in a DB. All these mails to be sent shoul be personalized. Since i understand, and please correct me if im wrong, the mail() function is not a good option for this purpose. (the amount of mail to be sent may vary from 50 to 800 messages). I have considered using some masive mail application such majordomo or EZMLM. EZMLM is not easily configurable for sending personalized mail, and majordomo requires sendmail, (i would prefer to use qmail), i know about patches to be done so it works with qmail, but i dont consider them really clean. What would you guys suggest ?? should i jump into majordomo - sendmail, or do you know something else that might be a better solution. Thanks a lot in Advance, regards -- "Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts."
