Sendmail and cron are not available in this environment.
Hi Stephen,
Cron may not be available on the host system, but is it available on
your local system? You could always have the following running locally
using whatever scheduler you fancy:
wget -O - -q -t 1 "https://yoursite/cron.php?key=BiG-SekReT-KEy";
When sending mail, if you feel 200 would be too much in one shot, store
the message in the database and assign an ID. Then have a recipients
table with the ID of each recipient, the ID of the email, and a status
of 0 or 1 for whether they've been sent the message. Now you have a
simple mail queue that can be handled by your cron script in batches of
whatever number of emails per minute you and your host deem reasonable.
Cheers,
Rob.
