Answer 1

You've asked in a very general way, so this is a very generalised answer. There are several ways you can do this. The easiest is to an existing mailing app, the most obvious of which is PHPList, though there is also PHPMailer-ML.

The key concept is that you need to separate the sending from the command to send, and that the actual sending is not done from a web page script. You can do this many ways, for example insert a value saying 'send this email to these people' in a database, then have a separate process (either a daemon or cron job) poll the database for mailing jobs and send them asynchronously. You can do something similar with a queue like beanstalkd.
