But to send 200 emails, this plugin should certainy be modified to avoid timeout...
Sending 20 mails is not the same thing as sending 200.

Re: E-mailing all my users...
...and I thought only I have that problem with the plugin 
maybe multiple mails? like 50 at a time or something...
Re: E-mailing all my users...
This plugin should indeed be modified in order to send mails by packets. It should send 10 or 20 mails, then wait 3 seconds and so on...
But I'm not able to do that.

Any serious system should easily send out 200 Mails at once. No problem unless you fill them with junk (images, binaries of any kind).
We send out 1000 without any trouble before I send the system to sleep(100)

Don't forget some of us are using share hosting. With my hoster, sending 200 mails at once is impossible.
To please everybody, if the plugin is modified, it would bee cool to be able to set the numer of mails we want to send at once...

Re: E-mailing all my users...
I think this Broadcast Email works great! But boy does it HANG when I try to send out over 400 emails at once. Is their anyway to tweak it so it's would move faster?
Any shared help would be appreciate...
Re: E-mailing all my users...
Hi
Installed the plugin and it worked perfectly for 209 emails....

Re: E-mailing all my users...
The problem seems to be linked to your smtp. So let's try using the php function mail.
in admin/options, have you put something for smtp server adress / username / password ?
If yes, put a blank in each field. This done, retry sending your emails with broadcoast ...
If no, I have no idea what the problem can be.
Ludo,
Re: E-mailing all my users...
Found out that in the $to it shows the username and not the email address?
But i had nothing in the smtp, username or password, and i am useing a mailsender on another place in my site without problems
What could be wrong?
Re: E-mailing all my users...
Well got it to send now but it did so with an error in the repsonse time
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 40 seconds exceeded in d:\web\Forum\include\email.php on line 108
