The steps are 1 Just keep the emails in database. 2 Write another shell/PHP script which will fetch email from database and send the email using local/remote MTA. 3 Run this script from cron as background process. --- Nirmalya Lahiri [+91-9433113536] Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Not necessarily. As discussed at length on this list last month sendmail (or a substitute) may try to deliver the message rather than passing it to a local MTA. Richard: If sending the mail is taking a long time you need to look at exactly how you're sending it. As Per points out the fastest way to send email is to dump it to a local MTA. You should be able to configure your system to do that pretty easily, but if you don't have that kind of access either change hosts or look at poking the message into an outgoing queue you implement yourself (file or db-based with a cron job to periodically process it). -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

SendEmail($memberemail,$MailFrom,$MailHost);
header(Location:http://domain.com;);
There are a variety of ways, including setting a cron, running an
external script, or placing SendEmail() after the header(Location:
xxx) call and inserting ignore_user_abort(1) before redirecting the
user, in case PHP and Apache learn that the socket is closed to the
user.

If you're running postfix, sendmail will always behave like I described. If you're running a local MTA (local=on the same machine), I would expect sendmail to be very quick, but I have no experience with the other MTAs (sendmail itself, exim, qmail et al.) /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
