hey olinux - i did something like this with a mailing list thing i have for a website (insertfashionhere.com - about to be relaunched) and all i did was ordered the emails to be sent by their server - as you have said.
mine were in a database, so in my select i did something liek SELECT email, name, SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', 1) as domain FROM mailing ORDER BY domain or something, which would return something like +-------------------------+-------+------------------------+ | email | name | domain | +-------------------------+-------+------------------------+ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | beau | @curtin.edu.au | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | jim | @curtin.edu.au | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | john | @curtin.edu.au | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kiko | @yahoo.com | +-------------------------+-------+------------------------+ and it seemed to mail faster than if it was in random order. hope that helps -b // -----Original Message----- // From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2002 10:57 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] Optimizing mail() // // // Just came across this post and wondered if anyone has // done this - if so can you share some code? // // The idea is to order emails by the mailservers // // Would you just order the emails by domain name?
