Email Manager

[MisterNinja]

Well, the past few weeks I've been trying to send out an important notice to all of my members on my forum. There are a couple hundred thousand members, and oddly it takes several days to send out the emails. On my previous server I could go through the lot of all users in a couple hours. How can I trouble shoot this and speed it up? It is rather annoying.

I'm not sure what email software I am using, I am using CENTOS OS.

That is a server issue. You would need to troubleshoot this at the server level.

Could using SMTP speed up email sending, I think the issue is with mail().

It's possible. It's also possible using SMTP could make it worse.
