Thank you Miles
Do you put the mail() function in a while{} loop for each mail address
or make a "bactch" of them?

Yes - we're doing 900 per night.
It's a one page letter providing the day's headlines with a link to
where
subscribers can view it.
Viewing is done through a Flash movie so as to provide as secure an
environment as possible. But now we're digressing into digital rights
management.
Code itself is nothing special; fetch names and heads from the database,
build the list of heads, then run down the returned set of names and
email
addresses, creating the "To;" portion of the header, then bung the whole
thing into the mail() function. Set the appropriate field in the
database
with whateer mail() returns, same info name, email & result of mail() is
fed to a browser for user feedback.
Whole thing takes about 4 min to run. After each message is sent
set_time_limit(20) is called so whole thing doesn't time out.
You may also want to look at the mailing functions which Manuel Lemos
has
on his site.
