Ghetto Mailer
Ryans sehr alte Lösung für einfachen E-Mail Versand (genutzt bis 2013). Inzwischen nutzt Ryan ProcessWire Seiten und versendet über directly from this server using PW's WireMail interface with either Teppo's WireMailSwiftMailer or Horst's WireMailSMTP. Interessant bei untenstehender Lösung: durch das 3 Sekunden Intervall gab es wohl niemals Probleme. Bis zu einer gewissen Menge sicher ausreichend.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I send them myself, using a script I wrote more than a decade ago. It's always worked fine, so I've just stuck with it. But I agree with the guys that say it's better to use a service. Someday I will take that advice myself too. But if you want to use what I'm using, here you go…
First you'll need a text file with your subscribers in it. 1 email address per line. It can be only a few, or it can be thousands.
subscribers.txt
bob@email.com jim@bigcompany.com mike@little-org.com
Now you'll need the email content. You'll want 1 HTML file and 1 text file. Both should have the same content:
template.html
<html>
<head>
<title>test email</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<p>This is a test email</p>
</body>
</html>
template.txt
TEST This is a test email
email.php
Place this PHP file in the same directory as the above files. Edit the DEFINEs at the top as necessary. I apologize in advance for this rather awful email solution, but hey it works, and that's why I haven't bothered to rewrite it in 10 years. :) To run, place the files on a web server and then load in your browser. It should start emailing immediately, once every 3 seconds. If you are sending thousands, then it might take several hours. But because it sends slow, it never seems to caught up in any filters.
