Sending multiple emails: bcc?

[eluser]FernandoMM[/eluser]
Hello,


I have a script that send some news for our website members. Although i tried to keep it as simple as possible for performance, when we start the send, our VPS is almost running out of memory.

I was wondering, instead of looping on all emails and sending one by one, to use bcc. So i would send only once and the mail server would take care of sending for all members ( freeing some memory because php won't be running during this time ).

What do you think? With BCC a website member won't be able to read the emails of other members and it will work exactly as it works today, right?

Thanks!

Well this depends, some mail servers only allow 15 bcc recipients per e-mail, so I would make sure with my mail host how many you can send to. If you have a limitation you may have to send several emails depending on your mailing list size
