When I send newsletters from my CMS, many of them never get delivered even though mail() function returned 1. I'm just assuming that's server's anti-spam precaution which is only logical and most likely. How do I get around that, is it possible to create a cron job from my PHP script? Or is there an even better way?

Thanks.

If your server is blocking it as spam, then putting the script in the cron will not help.

Also, did you check the email ids that are not getting delivered. Are these Ids valid, many mailing lists have Ids which are no longer in use.

I forgot to mention, I was thinking of a cron which would send like 50 e-mails every 10 minutes or so.

The whole mailing list code is mine. And I don't know if I can get the information is an e-mail delivered in any way, because the mail() function returns 1 for every sent mail (in this case - every mail).

Never mind, I got it!!!

I'm gonna make a cron job that calls a function for sending e-mails every 10 minutes no matter what. Then when I choose to send newsletter from the CMS, I will only put all the subscribers' emails (and newsletter id's) in a table. Then, when my cron job executes, it will send and delete first 50 e-mails. In 10 minutes another 50 e-mails etc... When the table with "newsletters to do" is empty, cron will simply do nothing.
