Good day, I've already done this once with Perl and qmail, which was used against about 50,000 users. I'm sure it would not be much different with PHP.
All I did was create a program to get the addresses from the DB, and then use what effectively is a wrapper script for qmail-inject (you would use whatever program you use) that would add 500 people to the BCC list at a time and pass the text of the e-mail to the program via a pipe. It was about a 15 minute job. I would recommend it, as it's easy to convert if you have to switch MTAs. ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -----Original Message----- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] mailing to 19000 users On Monday 28 January 2002 23:33, Anas Mughal wrote: > I am soon to encounter the problem Mostafa is facing. > Currently, I have written my custom code to mail to > users subscribed to mailing lists on my site.

If you're using qmail, then ezmlm (or even better ezmlm-idx) can be made to work with MySQL. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* Leveraging always beats prototyping. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
