Is there any risk at sending email in loop instead of using a mailing list?


Recommended Posts

what do you mean by a mailing list? like just putting everyone in the "To:" field?

if you have a true "list" (like a comma delimited one) then you would still be using a loop to go through each name on the list and send them an e-mail.

if you mean a 3-rd party application "mailing list" program, then it depends on how they send the mail. chances are it uses a loop to.

Can't think of much in the way of risks to using the loop - other then it can take a while if you don't do it write.

NOTE: make sure you "GROUP BY emailAddress" in your query, so that you don't send the email to the same person if they are listed more then once w/ the same address (unless you are using the emailAddress column as a primary id)
