What are the implications of exceeding the limit of 250 emails sent in a bulk email process in PHP, as discussed in the forum thread?

Exceeding the limit of 250 emails sent in a bulk email process in PHP can lead to server performance issues, email deliverability problems, and potential blacklisting by email providers. To solve this issue, you can implement a batch processing system that sends emails in smaller batches to stay within the limit and avoid overwhelming the server.

// Define the batch size for sending emails
$batchSize = 50;

// Get the total number of emails to send
$totalEmails = count($emailList);

// Loop through the email list and send emails in batches
for ($i = 0; $i < $totalEmails; $i += $batchSize) {
    $batchEmails = array_slice($emailList, $i, $batchSize);
    
    // Send emails in the current batch
    foreach ($batchEmails as $email) {
        // Code to send the email
    }
}
