email in a loop

Wien

Is the mail() function suitable for a large amount of email in a loop ?
I need sometimes to send about 50 to hundred email and I noticed that only the first 20-25 emails are properly sent... What happened to the emails left ?
Do I need to wait (sleep(n)) between two deliveries

thanks

omm, I just want to write a new post like this.

I have ever write a maillist, which sendmail in a loop such as:
for ($i=0;$i<count($emails);$i++) {
mail($emails[$i],$subject,$message);

}

but there are always some emails lost.

I think to convert send it with CC, such as:
mail($email1,$subject,$message,"CC:$email2,$email3,$email..."
but the addressee will see other email addresses.

You could you Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) instead of Carbon Copy (CC)

It hides the other people's email addresses

Wien, did you set set_time_limit to zero in your script ??

<?
set_time_limit(0);
// rest of the code...
?>
