You > can do it running PHP from shell of a cron like scheduled task. I think you did'nt understand what I said (my english is so poor !). The php script is a cron task and only send a mail for each mailinglist wich contains only : SUBSCRIBE [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBSCRIBE [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... I only wandted to know if it was better to interrupt the loop and send mail or let the loop run and after use the mail function and send the four mail with the four list of clients. > >> Is there a solution which permits sending all my mails (4) in one smtp >> connextion ? > > There is a misconception here.
