Hi,

I'm trying to automate the emailing of my newsletter to my contact
group.

In php, I'm thinking of using an arrary of email addresses derived from
a mysql contact list. Then looping through the array emailing each item
with my newsletter.

Originally, I played with this inside a mysql query and delaying each
email by a second so that the host server doesn't think I'm a spammer.
But then the calling php inside my browser just waited and became
'unresponsive'.

So then I thought of the array of email addresses and wondered if
there's a thread or callback mechanism I can use. Or perhaps I can keep
track of a progress variable and use a smaller loop initializing a loop
with the progress variable which is the index into the array - or
something.

To send the newsletter, I just open that php page in my browser and
enter a password and away it goes.

I'm sure this is not the proper way to do this but it's only for my use
and not a commercial product or anythng like that.

Thanks,

Paul
