Agree 100%.  Postfix (or any other MTA) is much better at this.

In my opinion, this is what MTAs are designed for...

Personally I throw every email I need to send at the MTA (postfix is
the best!) and then let it handle processing the queue. If it goes too
slow or too fast that's when you can alter the configuration

(Side note: I'm pretty sure phpmailer would have some sort of delay
built in, it seems to be quite feature-rich) or you can always build
in your own manual loop, use sleep() or just launch the script and
only run $x number of emails each time...

Check the list archives for these answers.  Someone asked about this within the 
last 14 days even.

As for the spamming, you spam me and I send the spam to the national DBs 
(ftc.gov) and other spam reception/cleaning points.  Either way, you spam 
people and the users who report will report you.  Those who don't want it will 
report it as spam, and others will set up mail filters to just auto-delete at 
the mail server so they never see it.

[PHP] Sending out mass emails

2008-09-04 Thread Angelo Zanetti
Hi all, 

We would like to send out mass emails for some of our clients, these are
HTML email and text alternative for the email clients that cant read those
HTML emails.

We have developed some scripts to send the emails using phpmailer.

Now we anticipate sending emails in batches but not sure how many at once.

Also what is the best way about going around being black listed due to spam
issues. 

I know that the headers need to be set to avoid being detected as spam.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
Angelo
