Actually, I have another concern: mass mailing. We run a newsletter with over 3,000 subscribers. With PHP I sent out to this list on a daily basis using phpmailer class sending via smtp. Works great.
I am afraid of using the cfmail tag for such mailings based on the fact that php's mail() function should NEVER be used to send out bulk mail. I may be way off base here though... maybe the cfmail tag is capable of handling thousands of addresses. But even if it is, Bluedragon itself is a concern for me here. I say this because on the Macromedia site, their feature matrix for CF notes that while CF Enterprise has "High-Performance Email Delivery", the Standard Server version does not. I am assuming that the Bluedragon Server is comparable to Coldfusion MX Standard, meaning that I am also assuming it does NOT feature "High-Performance Email Delivery." Am I wrong here too? >On Wednesday 03 Nov 2004 13:30 pm, Ryan Jones wrote: >> Will Bluedragon Server really offer me everything PHP does? > >Yes. >And more. >Did you have something specific in mind ? > >> servers take up huge amounts of memory, and tend to crash often once the >> traffic starts increasing.
