any size or number constraint on the BCC field in mail()

I need to send emails to about 100 people for a client - NOT spam. Rather
it is a notifying them of a page they need to view.

majorDomo - look stoo complicated to get up and running and I don't want
them to email it back abd get everyone's emails replies - so this option is
out.

The options are:
- use php mail() and run it several times with 250 emails in the BCC field
each time
- install a simple list manager - any ideas of something easy to install &
use?

Any ideas are much appreciated!

do you have admin rights to the box? (or maybe its your box?)

add a user (a linux user, not some gui thing) and call it something like
clientfw1

shellcommand:
adduser clientfw1

then in /home/clientfw1

ad a file called .forward

and put ever email address in that file.

then send mail to clientfw1 using php mail()

sendmail will forward a copy to every user in that file. and clientfw1 will
NOT have a copy in its mailbox, unless specificly clientfw1 apears in its
own .forward file

Using procmail provides more functionalities ;)

True, procmail does, however, look at the complexities of each, and at what
level do you think he should attempt this? most admins today stumble when
it comes to writing recipies. The best solutions sometimes is one that is
most easiest to implement, not the most robust.
