CFMX could handle this no problem in one good but you really need to
use qmail on a Linux box as the mail client. Don't use Sendmail as it
is very slow. If you are on Windows 2003 IIS6 SMTP server is pretty
good, but really a qmail is the best.
Also use the following mail settings:
* Maintain connection to mail server: Ticked
* Spool Interval (seconds): 10
* Mail Delivery Threads: 25
* Ticked: Spool mail messages for delivery to disk - Don't use memory
as it leaks all over the place and if the CF server crashs you loss
the spool and don't know what has been sent and what hasn't.
That should work ok.
Also, it might take a while for the script to run if you are doing
25000, so either disable the request timeout in Administrator or and a
?RequestTimeout=5000 to the URL.

Invalid in format. As long as it's a properly formed email address, it
will work. You just have to make sure your data is clean.

John,
Does "invalid e-mail addresses" mean e-mail addresses that simply are
not e-mail addresses, or e-mail addresses that are valid in format, but
do not actually exist at the other end?
In other words, I would call
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a valid address,
even though there is most likely no such address on the yahoo server.
Is this how you are defining valid?
If so, it sounds like the solution is to check the e-mails using a
regular _expression_ to be sure that they follow basic e-mail address
format. Does this sound right to you?
Thanks,
Matthieu________________________________
