Nope 60 doesnt timeout however it does take londer i'd say maybe 10 seconds so i am now thinking thats not too bad. I contacted my hosting company and they told me there are all kinds of restrictions on volume and frequency of sending emails so i need to be careful. I am thinking i will need to start investigating a better packahge perhaps moving to a virtual server and setting up a KRON job or something.

Maeltar - any guidance? Say for example i wanted to send 100 emails instantly when an enquiry form was submitted what is the best way to do this?

PS. Thanks for taking the time thus far to provide some feedback on this.
