When you initialise the class, you are setting the from email address. When you send() the email you are also adding a second FROM.
I liked the personalising of the emails by doing a mail-merge with some data, but it would be nice to set some default values incase you omit them. This would then remove the {mailmerge value} codes too.
ie
Dear Bob, Dear Claire, Dear {customer_name}
with a default customer_name as customer you would get
Dear Bob, Dear Claire, Dear customer
you could also set defaults to empty for other values, such as passwords.
It would also be nice to see a clear send list function. This is to prevent the dataset growing too big before sending, allowing us to repeatedly load list, send and clear. We wouldnt need to recontruct the email again for a second set.
ie
$mail=new massMail("sender","sender@somewhere.com");
// contruct here
$counter=0;
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query_pointer))
{
$mail->setTo($row[`email`], array(`class` => $row[`class`],`{LISTID}` => $row[`9049`]));
$counter++;
if($counter>50)
{
$counter=0;
$mail->send();
$mail->clear_send_list();
}
}
if($counter>0)
{
$mail->send();
}
This example used on a dataset of 100000000 people wouldn`t overload the memory too much. I know execution time is a consideration, but if you use this in part of a cron job, you would have no worries of a system crash.

Hello !
I`ve develloped an system to send mass mail, using an csv file to subscribe / unsubscribe, ...
And with csv files you made to have more information (example: "name","email","from","city","phone" ...)
It dont have limit, and you can optimize the csv class to accept any parameters.
To send an mass mail, only get the "email" column of all lines of this file (csv).
I think this is more practice and best !!
