High Volume Email with Mail()

Hi.

Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to use the mail() function to send out 5000-6000 emails? I'm looking to replace a mass email service with my own script.

SwiftMailer is much better at large batches.

Also, you'll need to watch your max_execution_time - sending mail is not instant, to say the least.

Also, you may run into SMTP sending limits, some SMTP servers allow a max number of sent mails per day.
