c_shelswell Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi i'm about to set out making a webased mail client to send out a HTML email to around 100,000 subscribers. I was just wondering if there was anything i should keep in mind when building it. i was going to follow this tutorial > [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/130/0.php]http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/130/0.php[/url].In order to stop it being flagged as spam (it's not) i was going to stagger sending by timezones. I also need to flag any returned mail in my database in order to remove redundant email address. would it take to send out 100,000 mails via php / smtp?Thanks for any advice given Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34980-building-a-php-bulker-mailer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinCode Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Web based applications aren't meant for that sort of job. It's too long, and unless you're on your own dedicated server, it'll most likely time out. Better to establish a cron job, and get it done in batches through the operating system instead of through a webpage.There's a tutorial and an explanation on running scripts through CRON here:http://www.addedworth.com/php/index.php?t=CRON_ON_PHPHappy Coding,Cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34980-building-a-php-bulker-mailer/#findComment-165006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
