Hi, My client has a dating site and now he wants to mail all his members, he does not want to use any of the already installed mailing lists but wants us to make one for him, he's on a dedicated server. Presently he does not have too many members, just a few thousand (around 3k i guess), I remember reading sometime back on the list that using the mail() may not be the best option...not sure if thats still true. The thing that bothers me the most is if the program times out..., how do I start again from the ones that have not been sent? eg: (10 members) mail gets sent to first 4 members then times out we re-click on the send button and it starts again from one...again times out (this happens 5 times) that means members 1-4 will get the same email 5 times Doing this the hard way would be to connect to the db after each successful mail and "mark" each member with todays date or something...but I would like to avoid so many calls to the DB if possible...esp if the site grows. Ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance, Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
