Question regarding php's mail function.
I've created a targetted mail system for a client, that uses the mail()
function to send the the customer list. I find it's ok for a few hundred
names, however the client has a list of over 10000 and I know that would be
way to taxing on the server, as some tests have shown. I got the following
function off the php.net site and I'm wondering if something like this will
be significantly more efficient than using the mail function.
function sendmail($to='', $subject='', $message='', $headers='', $extra='')
{
$fd = popen("/usr/sbin/sendmail -t $extra", 'w');
fputs($fd, "To: $to\n");
fputs($fd, "Subject: $subject\n");
fputs($fd, "X-Mailer: PHP4\n");
if ($headers) {
fputs($fd, "$headers\n");
}
fputs($fd, "\n");
fputs($fd, $message);
pclose($fd);
}
At this point using perl or another language is not an option. Any advice
or links would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff.
