I like the idea of writing a bsmtp batch file and then using Perl to feed it
to exim every 15 minutes or so (cron.d).
The problem is, for a mass mailer, I don't have the option of verifying each
email address fed into my php script.
Besides, a Perl script would allow me to log errors, remove invalid email
addresses from my database as well as preform a few other nice features.
I _could_ do this all from a php script, but php is not as well suited to
this task. Perl is much better suited, IMO. Then again, I'd like to add
Python to my resume too ...
