Hi all gurus of VB.org

i have been wanting to ask this for the longest time. My mass send email to users process is always very slow and it gets stuck at 3000 users, sometimes, 200, sometimes after 20,000 and so on. It has never completely processed all of my users.

It's not the actual sending of the email, i have cron based mail to handle that. it's just the initial processing of the users. Every user takes almost 2 seconds to process.

If i set it to send as test email, it will complete in no time. Why is that?

How do you guys send mass email to your users if you have many?

Is there something i can do? or perhaps my webhost can do?

or if anyone can recommend a practical solution to sending newsletters to your vbulletin forums users, i'd really love to hear it!

Thanks
Tom
