Ok, so it's not really a news-letter, but I have users on my a website that sign up for "Email Alerts". I don't control the server, so I'm just using whatever SMTP server is setup by default on that machine (I guess).
I'm using the PHP mail function. I was wondering, what's the best way to send emails to multiple users at once. Right now it's in a loop and generating a different email for each person. (The emails are some-what unique, based on the users birthdate, so they get an email each week. Some people might get week 3 while other get week 28 at the same time).
I'd like to know a better way to do this.
Also, on another note, I'm not sure if this is something that happens all the time, but I have a feeling that hotmail and gmail are detecting the email as spam and are not delivering it to the emails inboxes (or even their junk mail folder). Does anyone have any light to shed on this?
Thanks
