php3 mail function

I want to use the mail function using php3 to send mail to multiple Bcc addresses.

Should I limit the number of entries?
If there were say 1000 entries in the Bcc field, would that create a problem?

Thanks,
jim

Alternatively, you could simply loop through the list, constructing a list of say 10 or 20 addresses and then send that message.

What you could do is saving the maillist in a db or file, and then sending each email to each mailrespondent.

This would work like with the bcc field - a respondent won't be able to see the other respondents.

This solution can easily be implemented with php and say a mysql db.

It's a bit like Richards comments.

Hope it helps!

I have to accept marko's comment since my question was whether or not there would be a problem and he answered it first.

And the mailing list IS in a db so richard's comment is the only logical solution, since i would rather not install mailing list software.

and just a note.. im not spamming.. i hate spammers..these mailing lists are comprised of customers at various auto dealers whose web sites i host.. they send info to their online customers. ;-)

thanks all,
jim
