Hi,
Im fairly new to this forum I have a problem I need help with its driving me mad.
I'm trying to mail some invites to a show im exhibiting in as a business I created a script that fetches all the records from the database
the script works fine if im sending 1 email at a time but the reason i created the script is to send out all emails at once to save time my BT broadband connection at work has a relay on the SMTP meaning all outgoing needs authentication,this means that when it takes time to send it gives me errors is there anyway I can configure this so as it continues to with them even in the relay. as my database has 200 records which I thought in php would be sent out instantly... but it just starts out and then stops midway...

hope someone can help

Thanks

Kunal

I am no expert by any means, but if I understand correctly, then you should use authentication to your SMTP gateway and use PEAR Mail. Plenty of internet stuff on this.

// Must have PEAR Mail Installed
require_once "Mail.php";

// Set email body
$email_body = "Hello World.";

// Setup Email Parameters
$headers = array ('From' => $email_from,
'To' => $email_to,
'Subject' => $email_subject,
'Cc' => $email_cc);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $email_host,
'port' => $email_port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $email_username,
'password' => $email_password));

// Send Email
$mail = $smtp->send($email_recpt, $headers, $email_body);

Why not send it as BCC, and use all the email adresses at te same time?
For example, gmail allows you to send an email up to 500 adresses at one time.

Look into PEAR's mail_queue.
