I cannot stress enough that if you use this script to make sure the script in in a secure area, with preferably limited access rights from the outside world! - This should be encrypted traffic, and secured with user authentication, and session handling. I take no responsibility if your server get's hacked because you do not know what you are doing.

This is a very basic script that should be inserted with a header, and footer to handle cookie sessions and user authentication at a minimum!

The scope of this script is to be able to send emails to users while preventing the users from being able to tell who all the email was sent to. Using the following method this will also keep the email header small.

Achievement: the script is written to have the To: address be the solo email recipient. There will be an email delivered for every recipient instead of using the BCC: method while To: is sending hundreds of emails to the To: recipient. So instead of sending 1 email to your users (with a large header), they will all receive their own individual email (which keeps the email header small).

Please know some ISP's and Mail Filters may see this as a spoofed email and may consider it to not be trusted. This depends on server configuration, rDNS, as well as SPF records.

The Script
<?php
$email_list = file("list");
$total_emails = count($email_list);
for ($counts=0; $counts<$total_emails; $counts++) {
   $email_list[$counts] = trim($email_list[$counts]);
   }
$subject = "SUBJECT";
$message = "EMAIL MESSAGE";
foreach ($email_list as $mail => $email) { if ( mail ("{$email}",$subject,$message,"From:user@dom.com\r\n")) {
   echo "The email has been sent!";
   } else {
   echo "The email has failed!";
    } }
?>


The "list"
user@domain1.com
user@domain2.com
user3@domain3.com
