I run a fantasy MUD and I have a PHP based daemon which checks for in game
player mail and if found and the player has registered an email address, then
it sends the MUD mail out to the player's email address. The program wakes up
once a minute to check the database and then goes back to sleep. It's been
running for months without a problem.

Cheers,
Rob.
