Re: [vps-mail] Mailing list software round-up - suggestions needed

Hi Mahonri

I'm not sure if this is your problem but I couldn't find any way to keep a 
process alive that is called from an HTTP session to send large numbers of 
email. The Apache timeout was never long enough, if I understand the 
process correctly.

I finally wrote a routine that copied the message to file and called a 
sending routine, that I also wrote, from a process started by sendmail.

This allowed the process to live until all the mail was sent.
