dmccabe Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ok this is a bit of a strange one, but seeing as you people have always given good advice I thought I would ask. My work are wanting to mail 15,000 of their customers (who have opted in to receive the mail). However if they try to do this through our small linux mail server it will collapse. So I need to think of solution, here's my thoughts: 1) Some sort pre-made system, where we can put it on our web server and design the mail, add all the addresses to a db and click send. 2) Make something to do the job, but I imagine this option may need more php skill than I currently posses Your thoughts?

AndyB Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Give the mail server a chance to rest ... use an incrementing counter with the messages loop. When you reach 100 use sleep(x) to let the script pause for x seconds, reset the counter and carry on with the next batch Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101668-mass-email-script/#findComment-520179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccabe Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks for the reply, but that doesnt help much. What I am after is a recomendation of a pre-made mass e-mail script or someone to tell me if it is possible to make myself with very limited php/mysql knowledge.

haku Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 This is the help section where we help people with scripts they are having troubles with, which is what AndyB did. You havent got anything yet. There is a 3rd-party section on this site, you should be using that.

jonsjava Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Mail Group Solution. I wrote this for my company, but they didn't need it, so they allowed me to post it open-source.
