Slow SwiftMailer

[cartaysm]

I have swift mailer setup to send two message and plain and HTML. I have followed a lot of different posts and came up with a solution that works. However when I send for example 7k emails only about 500 made it out before the 30sec timeout. So I switched my timeout to 600secs and only about 3k made it out.

 

I now I can switch my timeout to 0 or 3600sec and it will go through but it doesnt seem like this should take so long.

 

I use Debian 6.0, Zimbra 7, Postfix, and SwiftMailer

 

I am using the mailer like this;

 

/ Create the Transport

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('localhost', xx)

->setUsername('xxx')

->setPassword('xxx')

;

 

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

 

//Starts the loop to separate the to email addresses everything past here is built for each email

$to1 = explode(", ", $to);

for($i = 0; $i < count($to1); $i++){

 

// Create a message

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($subject)

->setFrom(array($from => 'xxx'))

->setTo(array($to1[$i]))

->setBody($plaintxt)

->addPart($htmltxt, 'text/html');

 

$plaintxt = substr($plaintxt, 0, -$plaindumplength);

$htmltxt = substr($htmltxt, 0, -$dumplength);

 

$emailcounter += $mailer->send($message);

}

might use the Throttler plugin for swift mailer for anti flood protection
