Hey guys,
What would be the best way to implement a mail queue, if i set up a table on the db and insert emails as they come,

a separate script will have to be running constantly right [or periodically]? cron jobs ever hault ? i wouldnt want to ever keep checking if everythings still going. Project span is a year .

Unless otherwise, a script with timeout = infinite, will be able to process up to 5k emails on execution ? would it be able to handle that?

Thanks
