Hello,

Is it possible to implement a mailing list using PHP?. I know I could
maintain a list of emails addresses in a db and send mail to them
through my
website, but how can I get true mailing list behaviour where emails
are sent
to a particular address (like ma*********@mydomain.com) and then
distributed
to all of the email addresses?.
Wouldn't a more general purpose language be more suitable for this? I
would think a language such as PERL or Python would be better than a
web-oriented language. I know there are some excellent modules in the
Python standard library for these types of tasks.
That is a myth. I use this class to send more than 2 million mailing
list messages every month. It provides MTA independent means to optimize
its deliveries for bulk mailing. At least one mailing list sends
messages to about 100.000 users every day in just 20 minutes.

I use this other class to fetch the bounced messages and unsubscribe
requests.
