Stress testing Xoops Mailer

Hi,
I'm experiencing some problems with the Evennews module. I have about 1600 users but when I try to send a newsletter the page hangs ( I waited an hour ). Some mail were sent but I don't know if all of them. Also I don't think an hour is needed to send 1600 mails.
So my question is: how can I test mail sending on my virtual server where my site is hosted without spamming my users with test mails?

Thak you!

P.S.: maybe there is a known solution to this problem?

Your server runs out of memory sending 1600 e-mails, and the process hangs. The solution is batch sending e-mails, but that hasn't been properly implemented in the XOOPS 2.0.x core, or the evennews module.

I can only help you define the problem, not the way to test or solve it.

You may also want to keep an eye on the development of SmartMail from the SmartFactory (http://www.smartfactory.ca)

In fact I'm looking forward for it
But I need a temporary solution until it comes out.

Do you think increasing Max Memory in php.ini can help?
If I change that parameter how can I test without spamming my users? I don't want them to receive lots of "this is a test" mail

Thank you!

P.S.: these are my actual values:

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8

Any tweak?

Re testing ...

Do you have a few email accounts available for testing?

A couple of methods:

1) Clone your XOOPS install, and in the cloned database, replace the users' email addresses with your test addresses.

2) Temporarily hack XOOPS' mailer to use your test addresses in place of the addresses retrieved from the database.
