smtp

[slimjim]

Can anyone help me out.

I have been trying to send out mass email to my newletter members with no luck.

After reading all forums i have decided against mail() since that is not the way.

So I have decide on smtp is the way to go.

But I have no clue on how to do it even if I find the code.

Then once I get the code, I have to loop table and get all email address out of database
and then send email.

Can anyone point me in right direction as to something easy to setup.

THanks

I'm not sure why you don't want to use mail(). It's OK for most stuff. What you want to do in general is

SQL statment to get all the records

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

 set up mail variables

 mail(.....) or anyother mail product (phpmail, etc)

} / Next record

All more or less as above.
