Hey guys…php newibe (ish)

Ive got myself an emailing list that sends to addresses i have in an sql database. It all works great but i was wondering how (or if?!) its is possible to track the people that the email is being sent to and tell if its beign read?

I was subscribed to a free srevice over at [brinkster.com](http://brinkster.com) and they allow you to seer the percentage of peopel on your list that have read the mail…is this hard to do? how would u go about it?

BTW…im using phpMailer if this makes and difference!

Thansk for your time!

thought i add this here instead of startign a fresh post:  
ive started using my mailer to send out to larger numbers…about 60 people now and i get this error:

**Warning** : fsockopen(): php\_network\_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in **/home/fhlinux199/z/zaidcrowe.co.uk/user/htdocs/includes/class.smtp.php** on line **105**

**Warning** : fsockopen(): unable to connect to [mail.w1red.com:25](http://mail.w1red.com:25) in **/home/fhlinux199/z/zaidcrowe.co.uk/user/htdocs/includes/class.smtp.php** on line **105**

Im assumign i that im overworkign the connection and timing out?!

Whats the solutions do this?!
