Mass E-Mail in Drupal 7
Dear All I have some doubt regarding mass email in Drupal. Lets say I want to send mass email to 5000 users at a time from a custom module. In custom module, I have to make use of drupal_mail() to send email. Now do I need to loop through 5000 times and send the mail, or is there any way I can send mail to 5000 users. Can I put 5000 email ids in CC or BCC . If so, with drupal_mail, how can I put the mail ids in CC or BCC list. Is there any limit how many email ids I can put in CC / BCC. Note: Once I tried to sending 3500 mails, in a for loop. Each email id I did put in to field. Looks some of the users did not get email. I am wondering what is wrong and why some users did not get mail. Thanks kamal

Is setting up a mailing list with dedicated software an alternative? Say Mailman, for example. -- RMA.
Hi Mihamina Rakotomandimby The email addresses are dynamic. I search on certain cafeterias, filter users and then send email. So mail group option is not possible in this case. Just I wanted to know is there any limitation how many emails we can send at a time. Does ISP put any restriction anyway.

ISPs always have limitations for EMail sending. There is no predefined rule. They are always affraid to be blacklisted. Sending massive EMail is touchy. -- RMA.
Drupal will not put a limit. If you are sending lots of emails consider running them in a queue. You might want to look at message module and Views Bulk Operations. This might be a good way to get the emails out of Drupal. Mandrill and Amazon mail service both have integrations with Drupal so you do not need to be concerned about your ISP. -Steve On May 28, 2013 12:36 AM, "Kamal Palei" <palei.kamal@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Steve Could not understand last part. * "Mandrill and Amazon mail service both have integrations with Drupal so you do not need to be concerned about your ISP. " * How it will be helpful? One need to host his site with Amazon (and it is costly), then only it will be useful.. Say somebody like me, who has gone with GoDady , incase we need to send lots of mails per day, so most probably ISP associated with GoDady may block it.., am I right here, only option I need to talk to GoDady guys and buy more email options..

Hi, Steve is referring to Amason SES. You can send large amount of emails through Amazon even without hosting your website with them. You need to configure your sending server. If you have to send large amount of emails, then SES is the best option. Regards Vinay On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Kamal Palei <palei.kamal@gmail.com> wrote:

Sorry I was not clearer with why you would want to use an external service. These systems are designed just for sending email and they do it very well. Mandrill (www.mandrill.com) is free for the first 12K emails per-month. There is a module that implements the full API or you can also just SMTP. -Steve On May 28, 2013 5:13 AM, "Vinay Yadav" <vinay@vinayras.com> wrote:

Kamal, I will be honest I do not know how to profile what the max would be for Drupal. I would think that it would depend on a lot of factors from how busy the site is to how messages are being sent etc. Message uses the Drupal Batch API for its queues I believe. Sorry I cannot be of more help. -Steve On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 6:16 PM, Kamal Palei <palei.kamal@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Drupal Experts Can anybody point out how do we implement queueing in Drupal when we want to send more emails... kamal On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 9:24 AM, Steve Kessler <skessler@denverdataman.com>wrote:
Kamal,
I will be honest I do not know how to profile what the max would be for Drupal. I would think that it would depend on a lot of factors from how busy the site is to how messages are being sent etc.
Message uses the Drupal Batch API for its queues I believe.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Hi Steve In your earlier mail you mentioned, "Drupal will not put a limit. If you are sending lots of emails consider running them in a queue. You might want to look at message module and Views Bulk Operations. This might be a good way to get the emails out of Drupal. "
I tried to look at message module, looks it is large one. Can you give some idea how the queue stuff is implemented. Is it that I will store details in mysql and will dispatch mails at certain intervals..., I am new to these things, kindly give me more details..
And I assume, if I use mandrill or Amazon SES, probably queueing is not required as I read Amazon SES does queuing itself (read from SES documentation), Mandrill not sure.

Sorry I was not clearer with why you would want to use an external service. These systems are designed just for sending email and they do it very well.
Mandrill (www.mandrill.com) is free for the first 12K emails per-month. There is a module that implements the full API or you can also just SMTP.

Hi,
You can find more information at http://aws.amazon.com/ses/
Amazon SES is a paid service where you pay per 1000 emails sent.
You can send as many emails you want - but there are certain limits, you can read them on the website.

Hi Vinay Thanks for clear explanation. Some more inputs please...
1. Amason SES - Is it a paid service or free service
2. Where from I will get configuration details
I assume it will allow us infinite number of emails per day. Is it the case...

Hi,
Steve is referring to Amason SES. You can send large amount of emails through Amazon even without hosting your website with them. You need to configure your sending server.
If you have to send large amount of emails, then SES is the best option.
