Also, you may want to double-check your mail spool settings in CF Administrator on the server. CF Server will spool the messages and send them to the mail server at that rate. So the page can be done processing, but the emails are still spooled....

Mailservers stamp datetimes on messages as they are processed so it should be easy enough to look back through the headers and see where in the process the slowdown occured. In Outlook, open the message, then View > Options to see the headers information. Once you know where the slowdown is, you can start looking for problems there. -Cameron On Wed, 29 Dec 2004 18:14:41 -0800, Ken Ketsdever <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The operations side of the house has recently built a windows 2000 server with exchange server 2000.

There is no way in hell a spam house can be profitable sending out 3500 messages and hour. I get offers to send out 1 million emails for $150.00 all the time. At 3,500 an hour that would take over 285 hours (nearly 12 days). Something has got to be wrong. > > Note: I am not bulding this to send out spam.
