Pfff… When you say you’ll keep things simple, please do so..! Don’t go off sidetracks by first talking about extender classes and stuff, that make things complicated. Noob..! :(

Hi All,

My opinion also is this a very good tutorial.

I have a question. I’ve a portal with many users. What if I want to use the mailing list (explained above in the tutorial) mail sending?

Won’t be the sender loop so slow? Of course I don’t want to send big mails, but every mail will contain graphical header as company logo.

I have been saddled with the task of sending hundreds of thousands of mails for a client in his site. I found that tinkering with the config.php for days finally allowed me to send about 2000 mails every hour. It was on a dedicated server with no resource crunch. Yet this is the maximum I could extract from the mailer. In their documentation it was mentioned that the maximum the software can do is about 3000 emails every hour.

About 9 years ago, I wrote a no frills Perl script which managed to belt out at least 3 times this limit. Any thoughts on this limitation ?

Thx for the tutorial helped me a lot.
Just a quick question, is there a way with phpMailer to capture the email in a SQL db.

I have a feedback/Q&A form and want to capture the feedback mails people send me in a SQL so that i can make a page where people can see what the progress is on the feedback/Q&A.

Thx for any help in advance.

Great tutorial, I only have one question, if I write one email address in the TO and i write 50 email address in BBC part, how many emails the server count that I have sent? 1? or 51 ?

Other question:
Is necessary this part => ‘First Person’ ?
$mailer->AddAddress('recipient1@domain.com', 'First Person');

Try turning off error reporting...

// Turn off all error reporting
error_reporting(0);
 
// Report simple running errors
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
 
// Reporting E_NOTICE can be good too (to report uninitialized
// variables or catch variable name misspellings ...)
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
 
// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
// This is the default value set in php.ini
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
 
// Report all PHP errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);
 
// Same as error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

@Zendrej:
Depends on the phpMailer version(try upgrade), maybe try the script using a different server.

Cheers

Hi,

I have used phpMailer in many applications of mine.

Sometimes i get an error

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to :25 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. )

I am not sure how it happens. Now in the running project also i used phpMailer, this time the above warning is always there.

If you have any idea on this please share.

Thanks
