Is the IIS SMTP server on the same machine as CF? It's a good idea to attempt making your CF machine focus mainly on serving ColdFusion requests (and HTTP requests). If it's doing alot of DNS lookups, which are required for a mail server to operate, it can slow down other services on the machine. I have used the IIS SMTP on a CF machine before as a local relay to another machine that's the final MTA. I think the IIS SMTP engine is just fine for sending smallish volumes (like 20,000 a day), but you may have better success putting it on it's own machine.
Also, as far as your messages not getting through to the final destination, there have been quite a few threads in the past about messages created by CF being identified as spam and what to do about it. Google or the HOF search should get you those threads... -Cameron On 5/17/05, Protoculture <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are currently sending out large batches of emails using the default iis > smtp server.
