Re: [PHP3] Looking for PHP3 codes to send a large volumn of newsletters From: Philip Strnad (pdstrnad <email protected>)

Roger,

I think this was discussed a few weeks ago. If I remember correctly, the
general solution was to not call mail() 60,000 times from your PHP script.
Instead you could setup an alias in your /etc/aliases file that points to a
file containing the addresses of the subscribers (each on a separate line).
 I've never tried this myself so maybe someone else can post the details I
may have missed?

I guess you could also setup a mailing list using Majordomo and then just
send the message to the Majordomo alias for that list.
