Hi,
you can create a mailscript to run seperartly in the background, so
when a administrator wishes to send a mass mail, it writes the content
to a database and then executes a stand alone mailing script eg:
exec(' php phpmailscript.php > logflile.txt &'); use the & to run the
script in the background.
This script can then pull info from a db (user and content) and mail
individually and log that the user was sent a email. This will also
save you the hassel of worring about administrators closing the
browser and having to resend the mail again and if there are thousands
of emails you can then schedual email's to be sent at specific times,
in the evening for example.
