I'm trying to spam myself :-\ with 2,000 emails, shooting for 15,000,
and I will occasionally get two identical emails. I'm putting a
$counter++ as the from and part of the subject line so I can see
what's going on. Any reason why this might happen? here's my code just
in case.

$counter=1;

function send_mail($emailaddress, $fromaddress, $emailsubject, $body,
$method) {
global $counter;

# Common Headers
if ($method == "text") {
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
} elseif ($method == "html") {
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
}

$from = $counter++;

$headers .= 'From: Me <'. $from . '@gmail.com>';
$msg = $body;
$msg = wordwrap($msg, 70);

$emailsubject .= " :: " . $from;

# SEND THE EMAIL
mail($emailaddress, $emailsubject, $msg, $headers);
}

$message = "<h2>Hello World</h2>";
$subject = "Test Email";
$to = "myemail@address.com";

$fromaddress = "";

for ($x=0; $x<2000; $x++) {
send_mail($to, $fromaddress, $subject, $message, "html");
}
