Bulk Mail SMTP

Great job, I really enjoy this class!
I have a mail list - database, and I need to do a loop and send each one, with smtp authentication. I tried, but the error: Failure to connect to SMTP server occurs, in the end, if I have a mail list with 7 contacts, only the first one and another 2 contacts receive the e-mail.
I read the forum and examples about bulk mail, but everyone I test I can't put the SMTP authentication.
I tried to put all the recipients as BCC, but I had problems because are more than 6,000 contacts.

Thanks so much!

If it says failure to connect, it is because there is something wrong in the host name, port or SSL/TLS settings.

Can you send a message at least to one recipient?

Yeah, I can send message for one recipient, but I'm trying do it with loop, I invoke the method Send. For example:

for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($emails);$i++) {
$email_message->Send();
}

I think ,Because open a connection for each email sended.
Maybe the SMTP server block simultaneous connections, can be that?
Now I'm trying make a loop with the method Send until -> Send returns (strlen = 0)
For example, like a refresh ...

If you call the SetBulkMail function like in the test_personalized_bulk_mail.php example, the SMTP server connection is only established once.

I tried with this example, but didn't worked, no send any email, I change the class "email_message_class" to "smtp_message_class"...but didn't like this:

require("email_message.php");
require("smtp_message.php");
require("smtp.php");
require("sasl.php");

$email_message=new smtp_message_class;

$email_message->smtp_host="smtp.osa.terra.com.br";
$email_message->localhost="localhost";
$email_message->smtp_port=25;
$email_message->smtp_ssl=0;
$email_message->smtp_start_tls=0;
$email_message->smtp_http_proxy_host_name='';
$email_message->smtp_http_proxy_host_port=3128;
$email_message->smtp_socks_host_name = '';
$email_message->smtp_socks_host_port = 1080;
$email_message->smtp_socks_version = '5';
$email_message->smtp_direct_delivery=0;
$email_message->smtp_exclude_address="";
$email_message->smtp_user="[email protected]";
$email_message->smtp_password="xxxxxx";
$email_message->smtp_pop3_auth_host="";
$email_message->smtp_realm="[email protected]";
$email_message->smtp_workstation="";
$email_message->smtp_authentication_mechanism="";
$email_message->smtp_debug=0;
$email_message->smtp_html_debug=1;
$email_message->maximum_bulk_deliveries=0;
$email_message->cache_body =1;

and the code is the same to test_bulk_mail

What do you mean "it didn't like this?" Does it fail with same error? What is the error?

Thanks so much...
I resolved the problem, the bulk mail can send 6,000 at once?
I need configure something else?

It only depends on any limits imposed by the SMTP server.

Anyway, relaying messages to remote SMTP servers is not a good idea to send bulk mail. It is usually very slow and prone to connection failures.

If possible it is better to relay on the local e-mail server. You may want to read this article for more details:

Thanks!
I'll read the article! But I have a VPS just to do that.
Just one more question, I promisse!
I'm starting to develop in php...

I have e-mails in MySql and I can't do the array the right way:
I need:
$to=array(
array(
"address"=>"[email protected]",
"name"=>"Yahoo"
),
array(
"address"=>"[email protected]",
"name"=>"GMAIL"
)
);

I did:

$to = array();
for($i=0;$i<$elements;$i++) {

$destinatarios = array(
"address"=> $mailling[$i]['cnt_email'],
"name"=>$mailling[$i]['cnt_nome'],
"nvi_id"=>$mailling[$i]['nvi_id']
);

$to = array_merge($to,$destinatarios);
}

I need in the loop add arrays in the main array.

Thank so much!

I just finish this part! Now, I have one more problem, when I receive the e-mail the body is duplicated.
For example:
The first one e-mail it's ok, the second the body cames duplicate, the third one cames with 3 message body.

the cache_body = 0

it's a personalized e-mail.

thanks
