I'm not familiar with PHPList but... You might be able to get a significant speed increase by creating indexes in MySQL on some more of the fields in the table. For example, if the list code checks for duplicate email addresses, and the email address field is not indexed, then creating an index on that field will speed things up lots - especially as the table becomes big. -- Phil Driscoll -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
