Mass-mailing Newsletter

Post by julotte »

Hi everyone,

I am new to swift mailer and I try to figure out what is the best bay to send a newsletter to a few thousands of subscribers.

According to what I read on this forum, send() or batchSend() are basically the same method, the second one just automatically creates a loop with the first one. So both of them can be used to send a newsletter.

But something is not clear for me. I ran test with batchSend() method and 100 recipients. My mail server (hMailServer on windows server 2008) seems to have difficulties to process the batch. My PHP script runs for 20 seconds for only 100 emails. Is it because batchSend() opens 100 different SMTP connexions? If it's true, wouldn't it be more efficient to send my newsletter with send() and 1000 recipients in BBC?

Thank you very much for your help!
