It would still be to your advantage to check with your hosting about limits. I ran up against that on the last newsletter I coded where I could have only 25 recipients per message and 99 total messages per day. JM That's true!

Yes, that's true! Is there any sideffects maybe...?
This type of email may be more susceptible to being caught in spam traps.
Check with your webhost to learn of any limits to the number of recipients
per message, and number of messages per day/hour/etc.
JM
Aha.. that's a reason good enough for me for not using this method.
Thanx.

Why let PHP do all the work? If the body is all the same for all
recipients you could send only one mail with all recipients in the
BCC-field and only one dummy-adress in the To-field. This would lead
to a very short execution-time.
Marcus

Outside of being a major spam flag, and possibly reaching the limits of
your smtp server.

Others here have mentioned the use of a mailer class I can't remember the name of (phpmailer maybe?). PHPMailer is really good for sending HTML/Text/Both emails - I'm using it on a few different sites. Link: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ Also, if you're going to use PHPMailer an excellent tutorial can be found here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/130/0.php HTH Cheers, Kev -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I wouldn't be shy about adjusting your timeout value. Its common practice
to do so. Sounds to me you just need to read up on the mail() function:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php There are TONS of code examples in
the comments at the bottom of the page. Others here have mentioned the use
of a mailer class I can't remember the name of (phpmailer maybe?).
