Bulk Emails

Ok... My email list is not so large - between 100 and 500

Say I have 300 personalized emails
ie. Body is all the same but the footer in each is unique

How long will it take for Swift Mailer to cycle through and send 300 individual emails? ( roughly) >1min?

Should I be concerned about 'flooding' for small volumes of emails as such?

I use php5 and my emails will be generated from info in mySQL. The emails (if any) are issued each hour via chron job. What should I ask my hosting provider? Can someone point to an example?

body= html letter
while ( end of mysql list not reached)
get (emailto, personalized footer)
email it via switft mail
end while

I currently user the generic php5 mail function. I find it too slow

I appreciate your help,

Ken

On a benchmark, seconds would be more like it, but it's entirely dependent on your situation. If your mail server has a 50 emails/hr limit, then 6 hrs.

Should I be concerned about 'flooding' for small volumes of emails as such?
Again, entirely dependent on your situation. Swiftmailer has Anti-Flooding and Throttler plugins to cater for this.
