Sending mass e-mail from godaddy


jazzman1

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

few months ago I've started a new project - http://stdimitar.org.

The site was deployed and is being hosted by godaddy Economy hosting plan.

I've created a php script using a php based mail function to send a mass of e-mails to our subscribers, around 1000 mails a day.

My problem is that I don't know how many emails are actually sent to their email accounts.

If anybody knows a better way to solve the problem, please tell me.

I want to share my script and so sorry for my English.

<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$local = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
// associative array, this data comes from database
     $headerFields = array('BCC:  example_1@example.com,example_2@example.com,example_3@example.com,example_4@example.com,example_5@example.com');
     $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n" .
                 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' . "\n" .
                 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "\n";
                 'X-Priority: 1 (Higuest)' . "\n";
                 'X-MSMail-Priority: High' . "\n";
                 'Importance: High' . "\n";
      $headers .= implode(',', $headerFields)."\n";
      $message = ''."\n";
      $message .= $_POST['message'] . "\n";
      // link to image or church bulletin
      $message .= 'http://' . $local . '/'. $folder_img.'/'. $filename ."\n";
      if(mail(null, '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=', base64_encode($message), $headers . '')){
     echo "Mail has been successfully sent"; exit;
      }

Using the mail() function and generating that "mail was successfully sent" message will tell you if the message sent successfully.  The best way to verify that is it being delivered is to set a "from" addresses in the $header variable so that our system or the remote system knows whom to notify if delivery fails.  Just remember to use an email address you setup with Go Daddy for this.

 

Also, Go Daddy shared hosting limits you to 1000 emails per day so anything more than that will not send properly.
