| I recently sent out a mail shot to a number of members of a loyalty
club. The trouble was that the script would sent a certain number of
mails and then hang. It took me several tries to send all the mails.
Can anyone recommend a method of extracting email addresses from a
database and then sending a customised mail to each. The client needs
to be able to compose an email, select a number of parameters (which
will determine to whom the mail will be sent) and then press a button
which will complete the process. I know I could create a text file of
email addresses then use a commercial bulk emailer, but I'd rather like
it to be a one shot process.
This isn't for spam, people have elected to receive this information.

Do the emails all need to be sent all at the one time ? .
Once the client has wrote the email and decided who its going to be sent
too etc - you could send one email per click on the website .
What i mean by that is a included file at the top of every page that
would send one email for every click - until the end of the list has
been reached .
Once the end of the email list has been reached - its does nothing until
the next time .
