Re: cfmail causing problems for our server
Mandrill is excellent. We've used it for a while. Just whack their smtp server into the cf admin and off you go. It's more customisable than that of course, but the base function of running your mail through their servers should do the job.

RE: cfmail causing problems for our server
Use a mail relay like STMP.com. Just change the smtp server for your mail blast to send through the relay.

Amazon SES was made for just this type of scenario.

Re: cfmail causing problems for our server
My recommendation would be to have them create a MailChimp or Vertical Response (Constant Contact, Exact Target, etc.) account and just send emails through their API. VRs API is especially easy to send custom HTML through (http://developers.verticalresponse.com/docs/read/api_reference/emails ). Then you can also ensure CAN-SPAM compliance as well. If youre using a CMS to send the mail through, then you might need to create a module to hook in to the main mailing list feature, but the long-term result would be better.
