Sending Mail to Many Addresses

Here's the meat of the code (excluding the actual database query and some debug code):
function sendMail($fromName, $fromEmail, $toEmail, $subject, $msg, $toName="", $content_type="html"
{
if (!empty($fromName) && !empty($fromEmail) && !empty($toEmail) &&!empty($subject))
{
$from_name = $fromName;
$from_address = $fromEmail;
$to_name = empty($toName) ? $toEmail : $toName;
$to_address = "$toName <$toEmail>";
$message = $msg;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/" . $content_type . "; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_address.">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from_name." <".$from_address.">\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Low\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: iCEx Networks HTML-Mailer v1.0";
$res = mail($to_address, $subject, $message, $headers);
return $res;
}
return false;
}
..
..
..
while ($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
if (!empty($line["email"]))
{
$toEmail = $line["email"];
$custID = $line["custID"];
$name = $line["name"];
$mailRes = sendMail("My Title", "info@MyCompany.com", $toEmail, $subject, $msg, $name, "html"
}
}
function sendMail($fromName, $fromEmail, $toEmail, $subject, $msg, $toName="", $content_type="html"
{
if (!empty($fromName) && !empty($fromEmail) && !empty($toEmail) &&!empty($subject))
{
$from_name = $fromName;
$from_address = $fromEmail;
$to_name = empty($toName) ? $toEmail : $toName;
$to_address = "$toName <$toEmail>";
$message = $msg;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/" . $content_type . "; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_address.">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from_name." <".$from_address.">\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";

return $res;

return false;

{
if (!empty($line["email"]))
{
$toEmail = $line["email"];
$custID = $line["custID"];
$name = $line["name"];
$mailRes = sendMail("My Title", "info@MyCompany.com", $toEmail, $subject, $msg, $name, "html"
;}
}

I'm sorry, I just realized my original message got cut off. I do have ignore_user_abort() and set_time_limit(0) at the top of the code. The problem appears to be that something causes the page to refresh as many as ten times, resulting in everyone getting the same email ten times.
The page itself is the result of a post, but at the end of the post script it does a header so if the client refreshes their browser the posting script isn't run again.
It looks to me like there's still some timeout or retry that's causing the php to automatically reload.
I'm really wondering if there's any additional codeing techniques in php that people are using to programatically deliver many (>200) emails.
Thanks,
