Sorry, every time I posted I got an auto reply saying it had an attatchment
and it wasn't sent...and I had to post again. The only way it worked was
for me to reply to another post and change the subject and message. Didn't
mean to annoy anyone with multiple posts.

> I've created a targetted mail system for a client, that uses the mail()
function to send the the customer list. I find it's ok for a few hundred
names, however the client has a list of over 10000 and I know that would be
way to taxing on the server, as some tests have shown. I got the following
function off the php.net site and I'm wondering if something like this will
be significantly more efficient than using the mail function.
