Oh. You definitely don't want to be using an external SMTP server if you can help it then, and you should really be splitting those up into chunks (no more than 1,000 at a time really) using something like PEAR Queue as has already been suggested. > There also another option with the class: using the sendmail program, > but won't the php mail function use sendmail anyway As far as I know, mail() just sends stuff to whatever the sendmail binary is on your system, although I haven't really looked into it. Of course you don't have to be running sendmail as most MTA will install binaries such as /usr/sbin/sendmail which actually point to postfix or qmail or whatever you're running.
