PHP E-Mailer

Just finsihed a php e-mailer, everything works great, just have a few problems.

When sending e-mails, it is sort of slow, is there a way you can speed up the proccess of sending the emails?

When I send more then 150 emails, it states that, I have exceeded my daily limit, is there a way I can change this?

Also, how do I set the email priority to the highest?

To my knowledge, speed in completely dependant on the server (speed and configuration) AND clean code.

so, no, you probably cant make it run faster.

daliy limit?  of what.  bandwidth?  
I bet it is just the timeout of the server

add this to the emailer page

set_time_limit(120);

I added that code to my mail, but I get this msg when I excceed 150 emails:

"Echec ! Errors :
You've reached your maximum daily quota : 150"
no idea what that is.  looks to be a server setting.  
out of my area of expertise.

Good luck.

OK, how would you set the email piority levels?
var $priority = 3;
$priority - This sets the mail priority by default. Values: 1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = Low

So, just set it up like this:

<?php
var $priority = 3;
?>

Are you useing your own mail server?  Maybe the mail server's limit is 150 emails a day, to prevent spamming.
I really wouldnt think so, but i guess it may be possible.

But php doesnt really need a email server, to my knowledge.

Rockman
in the php.ini file you point the php to a mail server to use.
I don't know about phpmailer but you need a valid mail server for the basic mail() php function to work.

I think the answer I gave would allow the carriepitre to send as many emails as he wants without local limits.
