[FX.php List] First Mass email = Too Many Redirects for Safari

[Bob Patin]

Jonathan,

I guess my first question would be why you're doing this from the  
browser and not directly from the database.

Assuming that there's a logical reason why this needs to be done from  
the browser, my second question is whether each email is distinctly  
different; if not, you could of course send a single email to all  
recipients using a BCC.

Third, I use a mail script that someone gave me, called "sock mail";  
it's a PHP page with the mail function in it, and I call the function  
from within my PHP pages. I don't really know *anything* about the  
sockmail function; it may be the same as PHPmailer, but I don't know;  
I do know that it's been incredibly reliable for all the sites where  
I've used it.

Random thoughts... :)

Best,

Bob Patin
