people. The application would create an object, send and e-mail to 1
address, drop the object then update a table that it had e-mailed that
address. Yes it might not have been the most efficient but we only ran it
once a month and one of the highest priorities was to insure that if the
application crashed in the middle of sending the e-mail that when restarted
it wouldn't send the e-mail to the same address a 2nd time.
When it ran under CF 4.01 it would take about 10-15 minutes to send the
e-mails. After migrating to MX 6.0 it would take hours to run. We ended
up rewritting the application to directly write files to CF's mail spool
folder.
