megetron Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hello, I have some troubles to send mass email. I am using mail() function and the script is timed out. also there is a restriction in which you allowed to send 20 mails per minute. so I use sleep(5) to delay 5 seconds between every mail, but the script is exceeded timeout. Adding this: set_time_limit(0); will still not work. maybe can I set a background thread? if so please tell me how to. Also, if there is a built in script that can help me with that, I would like to hear about it.

downah Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think this is what is used mostly for mailing, I heard that mail() in general is not very reliable. I think it is because you're sending mails from the server, have a look at: http://pear.php.net/package/Mail Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262215-can-you-send-mail-for-bulk-email/#findComment-1343757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
