 * Hello,
 * I was just wondering if this plugin uses the wp_mail function to send mail or
   a custom function for this plugin?
 * Thanks!

 * The plugin uses the standard PHP mail function to send emails: [http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php)

 * Thanks for your speedy reply. That’s good news in that I know now that it won’t
   interfere with other email operations on my multisite installation, but bad b/
   c it is thereby escaping my email queue/throttle. I know your description says
   that this plugin would be a bad way to send spam, but is it possible to slow 
   it down even further? Thanks!

 * I apologize, but I would likely have to re-tool the script in order to do that,
   which I really am unable to do at this time given my other obligations.

 * Kenny,
 * I am new to all this and maybe you cant point me in the right direction. I will
   be starting a MLM site.. and my subsribers (which we project will be in the thousands)
   need to receive emails at least once a week.. would this plugin do that efficiently?

 * mattadika,
 * Technically I guess it would be possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. This plugin
   is more directed at sending updates to groups of your multisite users (along 
   the lines of: “hey, we’re going to be down for maintenance this weekend, just
   wanted to give you a heads up admins!” or something like that).
 * If you had a userbase that large, you’re probably better off looking into a third
   party mail list manager or a plugin more specifically purposed for that sort 
   of thing.
 * Hope that helps.
