i want to send newsletter to many people simultaneously,how to send email in bulk using php?i try before using the normal email coding such as mail(), but when it is sent to many recipients, it will become "page not found".

is there a way where it can be send faster?because once it is slow because the enormous amount of recipients, it will become page not found.
 
From my personal experience, i suggest that you use PERL for the application.
However if you want to use PHP, try executing the script from command line (ie php nameofyourscript).
Also try to put this line on the top of the php script
Code:
set_time_limit(0) ;

You can also break up the receipient emails and send mails in shifts, if nothing seems to work.

I never set a goal because u never know whats going to happen tommorow.
 
Gee, how about building a proper mailing list and letting it do the job correctly???

Mailing List software:
ezmlm
mailman
