[PHP] sending to large mailing list
Hi I have some mailing list programming which we've used for quite some time. However, one of my clients now has 660 people on the list and we are getting a timeout error on the script and class. I'm using the Mime type class from Manuel Lemos I'd like to know how other people handle large mailing lists?

Re: [PHP] sending to large mailing list
Richard Thanks for this email. I have done that and used flush(); on the next page. It does seem to be taking a long time and I was wondering if people use other methods. For example, one of the scripts I have seen can use either mail, sendmail, or smtp as options. I was wondering if going direct to sendmail would be a better approach? The idea is that this database will expand to quite a few thousand in the near future and I want to know that we'll be able to handle it :) The problem is that I cleverly added the feature that each email has a salutation which personalized to the persons name!

Honestly speaking, when mailing lists grow to (somewhere past trivial) numbers that are large it's best to use software that is designed to be efficient at handling those numbers of people. I use ezmlm to handle a few lists that total about 2000 people, others use majordomo or another such list. ezmlm has options to interface w/ mysql should you want to. The administration, handling of bounces, etc. can overwhelm!

OK Mark Thanks for your reply. I'll have a look at this and see if I can use PHP for managing the list of people, but use another app to send Thanks again ade Honestly speaking, when mailing lists grow to (somewhere past trivial) numbers that are large it's best to use software that is designed to be efficient at handling those numbers of people.
