[PHP] MailBomb Problem...

2001-01-20 Thread ewiz 

I am facing a problem where some users on the server are using php
mail() function to mail a list of users in taken from mysql db(around
5000 users, but not spam), but this is getting the system crashed due to
excessvie loads and if I limit the delivery load on exim than even
geninue mail is getting holded up.

so is there anyway to limit the number of emails or delay the mails from
the nobody user( which is the apach+php user which mails) or make PHP
use a remote server than the local sendmail ?

any help would be apperciated.
TIA

[PHP] anyway to make mail() function use port 25

2001-02-09 Thread ewiz 

anyway to make mail() function to use port 25 on a defined SMTP host
instead of the raw/direct spooling as by default as it uses sendmail on
local system, what happens when SMTP server is a different box
alltogether ?
