[thelist] PHP : Bulk mail problem

[R.Livsey]

Hi, having a bit of a problem writing a newsletter app.

Im adding recipients to the email on a Bcc list as opposed to sending
loads of separate mails to make it kind on the SMTP server and execute
faster.
However the problem I am coming across arose because I have, for testing
purposes, added my email (an someone elses) to the app about 100 times
yet we only ever get 1 email each!!

Using PHP and the libMail class (basically an interface to mail() )

Approaches tried so far are as follows :

Tried changing the separators in the Bcc list and used ';' ',' and ' '
(space) but all do the same thing.

I changed it to Cc and can see all the email addresses in the list in my
email client so they appear to be set fine.

Thought it may have something to do with the SMTP server weeding out
identical emails, so I made it randomly generate the address (ie
asdfasdf at cache-22.co.uk) so that no two are the same. Doesn’t fix it
though!

Any ideas, this is getting slightly annoying now :)

Cheers.
