Greetings,
The company I work for sends out time-sensitive emails (we send out foreign currency trade alerts) and we're struggling here. Currently I have a form to email system that uses php to access emails from 3 fields in two different MySQL databases. I'm using the mail function right now and it takes me about 12+ minutes to send approx. 600 emails. We have a dedicated server that we access remotely so I figured there shouldn't be a problem with hardware. Our database is constantly growing and within the next few months the emails will be taking even longer and we can't have that.
I've tried using phpMailer using SMTP and it seemed to work a little better but I got errors from several email addresses that weren't really errors, those users received the emails.
Is there any other software/hardware solutions for us? Thanks in advance.
