I need a smart programmer (php or perl) for 2 simple projects

[mrthumbs]

Job 1:
A tool for automated whois result parsing. No, not looking for email addresses.

Should be done in PHP or Perl. Thing is that for this type of tld theres a whois limit of 50 per day per ip address. So i need a little workaround for that.


Job 2:
Im currently sending out a newsletter to approx 3k members monhtly.
I use the default php mailer mail() because the newsletter needs to be
highly customized for every member and an idiot like myself can only fix that
with simple PHP.

Problem: its slow, unreliable and after a while spamfilters (although this is legit email) seem to block lots of them. I think only 60% or so reach their destination. Way too much loss.. if you have a solution: drop me an email.

I use worldcast. Allows multiple email connections and customization for each email.

I think a good solution for your task #2 would be using another SMTP server than the one offered by your hoster. I had a similar problem when many of my e-mails sent from my site were blocked by spam filter because server's IP was in black lists.

I managed to solve this by getting an account at SMTP server of my ISP (with SMTP authorization) and using a custom written function instead of standard php's mail() to send e-mails using that external SMTP server.

So, basically, if your e-mails are caught by spam filters, one of the causes of this may be the blacklisted IP of the server where your site is hosted.
