I'm trying to set up a list manager on a hosted site. PHPlist (phplist.com) seemed promising but I read on their forums that it takes some users hours and hours to send a couple thousand emails. Without terminal access, I suspect the PHP sending page will time out long before most of my emails have been sent.
Does anyone have suggestions for a quicker mailer? I'd like to be able to import users in bulk, and I'd like to let users sign up and unsubscribe automatically. PHPlist does all that but... I don't want to set it all up and then find out I can't send my newsletter. It's supposed to be an announcement-only list, BTW.
Depending on your host operating system and local mailer, there are ways to tell to just queue the messages and deliver them later when possible, freeing your PHP much faster to queue messages to different recipients. Just let me know which OS and local mailer system (sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, IIS, Exchange, etc.) do you use so I can advise.
I'm aftaid I have very limited information about the server configuration. I'll have to ask my host since I can't find the info on their web site.
Thanks for your reply.
