Hi!
Im running a mail script on my server but when i shall send emails to all my users like 3000 i can only send like 200 emails then it returns with a error.
Exactly the same as this example:
I am working on a job board for a client and i am trying to do a mass email to all jobseekers(there are currently over 1000 jobseekers). When i try to send out emails to just some of the jobseekers, it works fine. But when i try to send out emails to all the jobseekers, i am getting the following error:Warning: mail() [function.mail]: could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i' in /home/ployjam/public_html/admin/emailall.php on line 63Warning: mail() [function.mail]: could not execute mail delivery program ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i’ in /home/ployjam/public_html/admin/emailall.php on line 63

Anyway when i contacted my server admin of the VPS he replied:
Thank you. Yes, I understand the issue. I also had a word with our system administrators and the reason for this has been found. The maximum simultaneously running user processes allowed by the system per VPS node are as follows:regular 480
This is a restriction we would not change from a security and performance point of view.
You can either:
- re-write your script to send the messages in pack of 150 for instance.
- find a ready-to-use script to do so.
Well so now my question is. Does anyone knows how to rewrite this email function so it can send the mails in a loop, i mean send like 50 email at one time and then send another 50 emails?
Heres the script (emailtousers.php):
<?php
require_once("functions.php");
require_once("config.php");
$readyto=(isset($_POST["readyto"])?$_POST["readyto"]:"sa");
$readyto1=(isset($_POST["readyto1"])?$_POST["readyto1"]:"sa");
$kullan=(isset($_POST["kullan"])?$_POST["kullan"]:3);
$konu=(isset($_POST["konu"])?$_POST["konu"]:"Subject!");
$mailbolumu=(isset($_POST["mailbolumu"])?$_POST["mailbolumu"]:"Mail Body!");
$count=0;
block_begin("Email to Users");
