I use a database (MySQL). I retrieve the list of people to send to and then send one email at a time while looping through the results. Usually it's a couple of hundred at a time, not sure how many you mean by "many many"!!!
Hope this helped!

We have a client who has some customers that are signing up to win a prize in a contest. These users can also join the e-mail club. What's the best way to send many, many e-mails? I don't want to send an e-mail to each individual user (that can be tough on the server). I also don't want to just make a bunch of entries in the To: header. I don't want people to be able to see who else is on the mailing list. Could I solve that problem by putting their e-mails in the bcc section of the header? Any other ideas are appreciated...thanks, Tyler Longren -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
