when the newsletter generation starts memory_get_usage() says ~96 MB in
use. So approx 290 megs more are used after reading the 20.7 Kb template
with fread()! I am reading the memory consumption with
memory_get_usage(), so I dont know what should be wrong with that...

dev machine 4 GB, webserver 8 GB of RAM

sorry, my fault, I meant I am generating 100 emails "once", sleep(2),
then the next 100, and so on... In my case (50xx mails - that results in
51 "loops" a 100 mails).
answering TG:
Couple of questions come to mind...
1. How big is this template that you're loading? Not sure why almost any HTML file would take up 300+ meg of memory when loaded into a variable. Are you loading images and other content in as well or just the HTML file?
the size of the template is 20.7 Kb
2. Replacing the placeholders with actual data increases memory that much? Damn.. maybe I'm just ignorant of how PHP maintains things in memory, but that seems kind of nuts too
3. Do you have to store each newsletter in memory at each loop or can you send them out then move to the next one without storing them in an array or whatever you're doing?
I write each newsletter to a mysql database then move to the next
4. Please tell us these 'newsletters' don't contain information on "male enhancement products" or "govt seized puppies"..hah
No, they don't ;)
