Well, I don't know what Michael is doing, but we found that mail tended to be slow. If we didn't wait for each message, we tended to cause errors. So we wrote a service that called a PHP routine to ship the messages one at a time, and check that the process had completed for each message before sending the next. You can get mass-mailing systems written in Perl, I think there are now some available for PHP. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
