What's the advantage of Richard's package vs. the Pear one (on which he is a lead dev) vs. PhpMailer? Mind me for another opinion. I am not the right person to compare those packages because I do not use them. I use a MIME message class for many years that provides special resources for optimizing deliveries to many recipients like for instance newsletters. Optimizing deliveries depend on the method that you use to deliver the messages. This package provides several different delivery methods that are implemented by different sub-classes in the package: mail(), sendmail, qmail, SMTP, Windows pickup folder. You can tell the class to optimize the queueing of the messages for many recipients just by calling the function SetBulkMail(). Then whatever is the sub-class of the delivery method that you use, it will set its mode of operation to minimize the time that your script has to wait to queue all the messages to your recipients. Furthermore, if your message body are the same for all the newsletter recipients, the class can cache the message body so it will not waste time rebuilding the message to all users. All these techniques provide huge speedup. I use this package for many years. Currently it is used to send about 3.5 million newsletters a month and I can tell you that it is very fast queuing around 30 messages per second in a qmail based setup, all done in pure PHP code. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What's the advantage of Richard's package vs. the Pear one (on which he is a lead dev) vs. PhpMailer? First off, the OT is rather to general to really know what is going to be better, the only way to resolve it is to benchmark the results, if you are sending one message heh.. good luck figuring that out. What i would be looking for is if there are tools to manage a mailman list or ezlm list, i'd rather have an application that is designed for sending out bulk emails than try to figure out what is the best php Mail/STMP interface to send email to an MTA that will most likely be the bottleneck anyway. As for speed, you will most likly have a issues with the actual STMP server or the MTA trying to send the documents. Even if you speed up on how fast php can send email to a STMP server directly or inject the messages to the MTA, the messages can only be sent as fast as they can be delivered, thus any effort to make php sending mail faster is rather futile.
