Hi,

Been sending email to customers via oscommerce email function, now this is timeing out as the list is too large.

Anyone recomend a PHP alternative that can process mails in batches as not to upset server limits.

Would need to send 20k in 24 hours.

Thanks.

strip out the list of emails from the database.

then use another tool for the email marketing.. osc is not great in this area...

could be as simple as a vbscript that uses your local pc as the smtp server...

Active Campaign, or if you're on a tight budget Tincan PHPList.

Yes PHPList is awesome and easy to integrate with. I've integrated it with osC sites before (in fact I made a nearly fully automated system that actually generates the mailshot content as well - just type in a comma separated list of product ids and the rest is pretty much automatic).

or alternatively use a service like MailChimp etc, but you will pay for it

PHPlist is awesome
