Hi Everyone...

I have a MySQL database set up to store email addresses for subscribers of my site...
I have a form set up to send everyone an email...

the form sends $subject and $body to this script...

PHP Code:

    $query = "SELECT email_addresses FROM database";
    $result = mysql_query ($query);
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
        mail ($row[0], $subject, $body, "From: me@my_web_site.com");
    } 


Here is what happens...
Only the first 4 or 5 subscribers receive the email... Is there some sort of spam protection built in somewhere??? How do I get around this???

Thanks,
Bryan

the mail function opens up a new connection every single time you call it so there is a good chance that your host has limited the amount of times it can be called per x amount of seconds so as not to bring down the whole server.

What you need to do is open up a constant socket connection to your IMAP server and send all messages through one socket.
