Hi all.
We have several small mail lists (about 200 addresses) that we gather
from our websites to send out updates, news, etc.
I store the addresses in a database and use a simple php script to
cycle through them and send them out. I was having some problems with
overloading the mailserver, so my host recommended a 1 second "sleep"
between sends, which seems to work well. Unfortunately, our host also
set an execution time limit of 60 seconds on php scripts, so the
scripts time out and don't send to the whole list. I worked up a few
ways around this by using crons to send to batches of 50 at a time,
but this is a pain. I also tried some of the php mailers, but the
only option they offer to send to a list ends up revealing the whole
sender list in each email. My host suggested a cgi script might be a
better way to go.
Right now, I create a variable which holds an html string, and send
that along with the necessary headers for html email to the list.
Can anyone point me to some cgi code that I could use to send it?
Thanks!
steve
