If this is a hosted server, the first thing I would do is check with the host to make sure they don't limit your outbound emails through your web server. I know a lot of hosts set a default limit of mails on their accounts. I ran into this once when trying to develop a small mailer. The host only allowed 100 outbound emails from the web server in any 24 hour period of time. It would seem a waste of time to develop a sweet application to handle mailers only to be thwarted by a restrictive host.phice wrote:How would I go about sending out an email to over 100,000 email addresses? I've heard that mail() isn't too reliable and I should use SMTP or the like?
What would be the best way to go about this?
