mass mail with smtp-pear::mail()?
|
|
|
| Hi
I'm running a website with around 200.000 users. Sending newsletters
using the naitive php-mail()-function takes quite a while, does anyone
know if it is mutch faster to use pear::mail with smtp - even if the
smtp-server is localhost? (each mail is different, thus using BCC or
alike is not an option)
And does anyone know an easy way to install the mail-dependent
packages? And I'm not an Linux-shark - so I'm primarily using FTP...
thanx

Don' use SMTP. That is the slowest delivery method.
You may want to try this MIME message composing and sending class that
is optimized for bulk deliveries. Take a look at the
test_personalized_bulk_mail.php example script.
