[cobalt-developers] Sendmail vs. mail()



Hi everyone,
I have a small mailing list of about 10,000 members. It takes about 2 hours for the newsletter to be sent. Right now the newsletter is being sent using the mail() command. 

We tried installing http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net but we did not succeed to send mails by smtp and sendmail didn't really speed things up. We're on a RaQ 4i now but will swith to a RaQ 550 somewhere (:-) this month.

1. How can I make it faster?
2. could other PHP/MySQL newsletter scripts be easily modified to work with whatever solution is best for us? 
3. is Qmail or MailMan from www.gnu.org a good solution? 

I'm not that familiar with this so any advice on which direction to go is appreciated! Thanks!
Reginald
