First off, the OT is rather to general to really know what is going to be better, the only way to resolve it is to benchmark the results, if you are sending one message heh.. good luck figuring that out. What i would be looking for is if there are tools to manage a mailman list or ezlm list, i'd rather have an application that is designed for sending out bulk emails than try to figure out what is the best php Mail/STMP interface to send email to an MTA that will most likely be the bottleneck anyway. As for speed, you will most likly have a issues with the actual STMP server or the MTA trying to send the documents. Even if you speed up on how fast php can send email to a STMP server directly or inject the messages to the MTA, the messages can only be sent as fast as they can be delivered, thus any effort to make php sending mail faster is rather futile.
