Hi all,
I have written a small php script which pulls email addresses (about 1000)
from my online db and sends a small html email newsletter (this is not spam
but a weekly member update). Normally, I would not worry about having enough
time to loop 1000 times through a section

Thanks Jon and Stephen. Some good ideas to look into. I like the idea of
changing the timeout, but not sure if the host will! Putting myself last on
the list makes a lot of sense.
I think I will have to do the test and send myself 1000 emails (yikes!) and
see what happens.

Hi Steve,

Probably :-)
You could always have your script send an email to your address right at the

If your host allows it, you can override the 30 second limit using this at
