Yes, that is a sound approach. However I've checked it again, and again, and
again, and nothing pops up. It would be easier if I had an error generated.
I'll try to get my hands on the SMTP logs, will talk to the server admin
about that. My code is sending data to the SMTP socket and monitoring
responses for the SMTP server, and no error there. Here is how it goes
HELO xxx
MAIL FROM: (me)
RCPT TO: (recipient 1)
DATA
(body)
.
RSET
MAIL FROM: (me)
RCPT TO: (recipient 2)
DATA
(body)
.
(and so on...)
QUIT
I've noticed that the error shows up when the server load is high: for e.g.
when I am sending out emails to the lists, generally the first list goes
through without a problem (i.e. one email per person). But when it moves on
to the second list, it starts sending two copies. But sometimes the second
list goes okay, and the third generates duplicates.
What _is_ the best way to send one email body to a dynamically generated
list of email addresses???
