Hi,
Has anyone information about mimemail and mass mailing? To be more specific, I want to use views_mail which uses mimemail, and I wish to know whether it can be used for large (>15000 mails) mailing lists.
This is largely dependent on the server and mail server software settings. If the mail server software is not configured to reject e-mails after a certain number of recipients and the server itself has enough RAM, it should be okay.
So what I understand from it, is that I don't have to use a mechanism that breaks the mail sending into chunks? Such a mechanism is used in simplenews.module, to be hosting-friendly: one can define the size of each chuck (say few hundreds email) and their frequency (per cron run). If I have a strong dedicated server, I understand from your answer that I don't really need to put any limits, is that so? Does it also mean that the mimemail solution is not adequate for large lists on shared servers?
Thanks, Zohar Stolar
