I did make a mailing list script once. I don't think there are any limitations with using mail() in php. A damn good function!

Heh, the limitless possibilities of php. Bless the heart of the man who made it!

 

[Tempy_Incursion]

Agreed!

how exctly would you use the mail() function to send out the newsletter? could you use a mySQL db wih the emails in it and send an email for every row in the table? would they cancel your account if you sent too much mail?

You could of course also store the emails in a text file, and then 'explode' them all. With mail() you could put all the emails to send to in the first parameter separated by commas or use a while/for loop to send it to one email at a time.
