Re: PHP4
As far as I know, Swiftmailer requires PHP5.
Re: PHP4
Tarballs themselves include some docs and examples - look into 'docs/' folderazthoa wrote:Yes, the current version requires PHP5. In the download area, there are various versions that support PHP4.
Re: PHP4
tarball is a .tar.gz (or .tgz, or .tar) file
SwiftMailer 2.x used to contain several examples in its distribution, but it seems those are no longer in the tarball for SwiftMailer 3.x
Docs for 3.x is here: http://swiftmailer.org/wikidocs/

Re: PHP4
Thank you for this information - it helped me to send out my first e-mail.
Questions:
1) Is there are a way to do something like:
$recipients->addTo("webmaster@azthoa.com", "AZT Webmaster");
to set the email address and the name belonging to the e-mail address for the sender?
2) I have a distribution list of 1300 people. Is it best to send out 1300 e-mails, or group them in groups of, say, 100 per e-mail, sending out 13 e-mails? Of course, I'd use BCC when applicable.
3) Is there a limit of how many e-mails or e-mail address one can send to within a specified timeframe? When experimenting with PhpMailer, it stopped working at 900, regardless if I sent them one at a time or in groups of 100. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough between messages, or something else that I'm not aware of.
Thank you in advance!

My understanding is that BCC'd emails are more likely to end up in a spam folder, however if it works ok in your case - by all means try to offload sending process to the smtp server - meaning 'bcc:<1300 recipients>' is a preferred method from the performance standpoint.2) I have a distribution list of 1300 people.

This would likely depend on the smtp server settings.3) Is there a limit of how many e-mails or e-mail address one can send to within a specified timeframe?

Re: PHP4
I guess that I didn't ask the right question:
The addTo("address@youremail.com", "Persons Name"); allows you to send a message to: Persons Name <address@youremail.com>.
The $swift->send($msg, $recipients, "sender@myemail.com"), doesn't allow me to have the from address in the email message as: My Name <sender@mymail.com>. Is there a way to have the from address in the email message be: My Name <sender@mymail.com>?

Api docs wrote: mixed $from: The address to send the message from. Can either be a string or an instance of Swift_Address.
Code: Select all
//....
$sent = $swift->send($message, $recipients, $from =& new Swift_Address("sender@mymail.com", "My Name"));
