Hi.  I want to set up a page to cycle through a list of about 25,000 users
and send a personalized e-mail to each of them.  I have no need for fancy
subscription, opt-out, or other such management features.  Also, I am only
doing this two or three of times.  As such, my plan was to loop over a
query, sending each mail separately with the CFMAIL tag.

Is this a bad idea?

I know that time is an issue: at 1 second per e-mail, 25,000 e-mails takes
seven hours.  Is the reason that this is a bad idea?  What if I do I in
smaller chunks?  I think that there are tools out there that allow you to do
this sort of thing without wreaking havoc.  Do people have recommendations?
Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Matthieu
