Server Connection

[Saboi]

Hi guys,

I hope this post is in the correct area.

I have been thinking of a best way of sending many emails,say a hundred in a day(dont worry,not spamming anyone,know them all) and wanted to find out if there is a way of connecting to yahoo,gmail or others that offer free email for this purpose, without logging into my yahoo account.

Please advice.

I believe you cannot use Yahoo, Gmail, etc. without logging in first (or at least providing username/password for your account).

Seem to me Google provides smtp services, but it is not easy to implement as they use some secured connection method for that ("TLS").

Why don't you send emails directly from the server using php's "mail" function?

Some servers don`t like the PHP mail function being abused, so sending mass mail using it might upset your hosts.

Have you tried googling for a bulk mailing program? There are a few good and relatively cheap (some free) ones around.
