PhpList send 1,00,000 in 1 hour

Are you sending 1 email to each subscriber separately?

Is the email the same one every time?

How about sending 1 email to 1,000 people at the same time?



If you are spamming, we _WILL_ hunt you down and feed you to the fishes.



What does your config.php file look like? http://docs.phplist.com/PhpListConfiguration is the documentation for the config file.

The various throttling options may be of use here.

Quit trying to do it yourself and sign up for the services of Constant Contact.  They are safe, accurate and almost embarrassingly inexpensive.

How much time is "too much?"  If you have 10 emails per second, you will need 10,000 seconds.  There are 3,600 seconds in an hour.  So you need your script to run for 3 hours.  Maybe the set_time_limit() function can help.

Please do not send unsolicited email messages.  Spamming is unwelcome anti-social behavior.  In the USA it is punishable by prison time.

You need approximately 27 mails per second, and this is quite possible.

Do not use any fancy frameworks like phpmailer(), use pure mail() function.

is it working with phplist or php ?

i have set set_time_limit(0) but still is not working ..

Do i have to spell my answer for you?

i am not getting you can you explain briefly ?

I can, don't worry.

You are using phplist, which has some overhead that contributes to slow mailing.

If you have the effort to change, thing like this will be the most efficient:

$mails=array('a@google.com', 'asd@fdsf.com');

$size=count($mails);
for ($i=0; $i<$size; ++$i) {
mail($mails[$i], 'Subject', 'Body');
}

Select allOpen in new window

first of all i want to tell you i am not php developer , i am linux admin . i am not getting you that what to you want say and above php code also. do you know about phplist hows it working, can you tell me where i have to do changes.

Do you know where you limitations are coming from? Something as simple as your lan speed could limit you. The size of the message is another. If you are trying to send a plain text with a full HTML alternative with embedded images / attachments, etc. then this will be an issue.

If phplist isn't restricting you, then you need to find where the bottleneck is.

If the mail is a complex large HTML email, I'd recommend creating a web page for the message and sending a small "New mailing available at ....".

That way, you could give a small/simpler message (plain text or limited HTML) and link to the full page.

Yes, If you are sending HTML mails, you could skip plain text for older mail clients...

thanks, i have almost solved this problem by changing configuration file but i am getting  Error during the Email sending (Mailer Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients ). my email server is working fine there no any problem in Email server then why i am getting this Error ?

What is the rest of the error? Or is that it?
