I am specifying the the email server within the cfmail tag. I mean, there's nothing out of the ordinary here. And the key part is that this application has worked without a single hitch for over a year.
My first instinct has been to just move away from Crystaltech, but I'm trying to get other people's views before i make a decision. It's the fair thing to do (for me and for the hosting company).
One important detail: my application allows a user to send a single sample to an address of his choice before doing the regular broadcast. This works ok. So, the problems occurs when broadcasting to lists of about 40+ people. I just ran a test with a test list of 2 subscribers and it worked.
I don't know exactly what's going on here, but something is not quite straight. All I know is that everything worked perfectly well before and now it doesn't, even though I haven't changed anything at all on my end.
Once again, thanks for your help.
