Hi,
I regularly use PHPMailer to send out a mailshot to two batches of 50000
and had no problems at all.
I would not use BCC. Just set the recipient, send the email, then use
the ClearAllRecipients() function and start again.
We do other things like set a custom MessageID for tracking bounces and
auto unsubscribing during this process as well.
I also do this from the command line so I don't have to worry about
timeouts / apache memory issues etc. But as long as you're aware of
these problems then you can set the values appropriately.
Regards
Ian
