No brainer, SMTP will almost certainly be faster. My mailing list system
(written in PHP obviously) can dump 600k customised emails to the local
SMTP server in a couple of hours. Doing the same with the mail command
took over 24 hours. How much slower will depend a lot on how you have
configured sendmail, but it's never going to be faster than a socket
connection to the local SMTP server.
Also don't forget the part where you shouldn't disconnect and
reconnect between mails sent.
indeed but I have experienced situations where the SMTP server refuses
more than X number of messages on any one connection ... which meant
having to get the script to disconnect/reconnect every 200 (iirc) odd
emails sent.
I used to use htmlMimeMail, but now I use Zend_Mail as it has a better
API and is also faster in regards to the quoted printable encoding.
