hi all,

I would like to understand which are the best ways to send bulk
mailings like for newsletters and so on ( not spamming, always to
receivers who opt-in ).

I am not looking for code for now , I have found some very interesting
classes and I also have my own scripts, I just want to know all the
options available and why one is better of another .

So, if have to send just a few copies to, say, less than one hundred
people I can use the mail function, If I have to send , say, 20
thousand emails I will have to hire dedicated mail servers, but what if
I have to deliver a few hundreds emails ?
What is usually the max limit using my shared hosting before moving to
a dedicated mail server ?

What is the best way ? maybe splitting the delivery in batches using
the default mail ( sendmail ) or by SMTP ?

TIA to who will enlight me on this matter
