You may want to try this class for composing and send e-mail messages.
It has support for composing HTML messages with embedded images.

It also can work in an optimized way for bulk mailing using the
SetBulkMail() function.

It supports several different delivery methods (mail(), sendmail [or
exim, or postfix), qmail, smtp) so you can choose the one that is more
appropriate for you.

It can be used for sending personalized messages, optionally using
Smarty to define the message templates, or cache the message bodies for
optimizing the delivery of messages that do not change for different users.

All you need to do is to run the SQL query that extracts your user
details and iterate the delivery for each one. The class comes with
examples fo how to do that so you can adapt for using with your database:
