What emailer do you use?
Matt,

The Codewalkers emails seem to work failry well. What product(s) do you use to have them generated and/or sent?

Thanks

Sean

RE: What emailer do you use?
Right.

But I mean what application? Custom written, commercial, someone's script. I would like to do something similar. I have one working now, but it only handles like 500 addresses. I assume codewalkers has a larger audience.

RE: What emailer do you use?
I think Matt wrote it. Forum notifications were coded into the forum, he didn't code those, but he made the script to email contest notifications, PHP code notifications and the newsletter I think.

RE: What emailer do you use?
it may also use a while loop or a foreach loop to mail everyone in the database or to whoever is required.

RE: What emailer do you use?
I think it just puts all addresses to the bcc field. But that needs a loop, yes.

Yes, it is simple. But the simplest is the best in many cases.

Actually re-inventing the wheel could boost its performance and make it better.

Here's an interesting page about how rewriting can be harmful. And another opinion from several years ago on the same matter.
