Hello,

I have a client who's web site needs to send out opt-in e-mail. I
contacted the web hosting service who they intend to host this with and
they have a limit of 500 e-mail messages sent per hour. I suspect most
web hosting services have a limit on this, so I thought about how to
address this. The e-mail being sent out would be personalized, and
there could be other processes from this same web site sending out
e-mail to a list too. So I thought about developing a mail que system
written in PHP to help with this.

If this already exists, please point me to it. If there is a better way
to do this, I would be interested to hear it. Thanks!

When you use the mail function in Linux, it uses sendmail or compatible.
In Linux, all MTA are compatible with sendmail. Sendmail is already a
queue system. There does not seem to be much point in duplicating a
sendmail function that it already does better than PHP could. PHP will
certainly will not override your ISP limits.

Thanks for your post. I didn't want to create my own mail queue system
in an attempt to override the limits by the ISP, but to make sure I
didn't exceed them.
