The Php mailer of Symfony 1.0 doesn’t handle important mailing list. No buffer, no Smtp server. The best is to use Swift mailer with a batch script processing in background…

Here is how to send an HTML email with the Swift Library with symfony 1.0:

Copy the autoload.yml in: myapps/config

try
{
  // Set up the Smtp connection using your google account
  $connection   = new Swift_Connection_SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 465,
                                  Swift_Connection_SMTP::ENC_SSL);
  $connection->setUsername('h.le.turdu@gmail.com' );
  $connection->setPassword('xxx' );
  // Create the mailer and message objects
  $mailer = new Swift(new Swift_Connection_NativeMail());
  $message = new Swift_Message
  ('Mail\'s subject', $mailBody, 'text/html');

  // Send
  $mailer->send($message, $mailTo, $mailFrom);
  $mailer->disconnect();
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
  $mailer->disconnect();
  // handle errors here
}

and in a batch file

$swift = new Swift(new Swift_Connection_SMTP(smtp_server_address));
$recipients = new Swift_RecipientList();
$message = new Swift_Message($email_subject, $email_body);
foreach ($addresses as $address) $recipients->addTo($address);
$swiftbatchSend($message, $recipients, $from_email_address);
