php script timeout - Sendmail ?

[stevec123]

I have a problem with a mail script which loops an array sending an email via sendmail each time.

it's recently run into problems
and seems to be that if sendmail fails for more than a handful of emails then the loop seems to run again and everyone gets duplicates ( or more) messages.

I have put a timestamp in the loop ie

---

for ($i=0; $i<$list_email; ++$i)
{

  $subject ="number ".$i;
  $t=time(0);
  $body="timestamp ".$t;
  $fromaddress=trim($fromaddress);,else# mailfrom($fromaddress, $email[$i], $subject, $body, $headers) ;

}
exit;

   }

---

so I know that message number 0 which appears twice is another runof the loop because the timestamp for both messages is different

Steve,
could you keep me posted on how you solve this problem as I need to write some code to automate the sending of emails to a subscriber list, which could eventually grow to over 100,000. One thought is to gather the addresses in blocks of 100 to 500, send the mail, and then get the next block, but this might require some sort of timing within the script !
