hi.
I'm trying to write a newsletter script but the server times out.

I'm getting all email address fields from an sql table, putting it into a
string, then emailing the string.
Would it be better to email one address, then get the next?

Cheers,

Put al your email adsresses in an array

$first = time();
$second = $first + 1;
foreach ($arry as $value) {
mail($value,.....)
while (($second - $first) <= 2) {
$second=time();
}
$first = $second;
}

That will send every 2 seconds a mail. If you mail too fast, it's
possible that de mailserver will drop your mails.
