Sending mails in PHP with a delay

[realin]

hi all,

well just a question, that how can i send emails in php with a delay. like in a burst i send 10-15 emails at once and then delay for a minute or two (so that server isnt offended). Shall i use sleep() or what else do you recomment.

Another thing i wanted to know was how many mails at once can i send so as not to harm the server. You can consider a very normal SERVER.

Also any ideas, how to show recipient undisclosed .
One alternative i know is to put the recipient's address in BCC and in TO field put your own address. BUt is this the right way to do ?

thanks and regards :)

to make a delay, after u send that 10-15 emails, u can add this in below

echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2; url=page.php'>";

this code will slow for 2 seconds.. url define what page u want to redirect.. this code like header in PHP, but it will have a delay then redirect the page.
