mail() vs. others?

[Geist]

I'm new to PHP and am working on my first project. It involves a web-based mailing list (it's a unique application, so please don't accuse me of trying to reinvent the wheel as others have before ;D ). This is going to end up moving through large numbers of email addresses, sending emails to them individually. I've heard that there are some limitations with the mail() function in PHP, and am wondering if it will really suit me best or do I need to find another way to talk to the SMTP server? Thanks

Still that's the best way to do it ... you need to have a great connection to the SMTP server, or else the response to the mail command can have some delay and the script stops.
