Ouch. This is a shared server, then? If so, then 3000 emails is roughly 13 minutes at the 250ms second timeout you were mentioning. Will that shared server allow a 13-minute request without timing it out? If you do 250 emails and wait for a full second between runs, thats a 12-second run and probably well within their timeouts... but on a busy shared server I'd worry whether I was slowing it down enough. If the CF server's mail spool rate is 30 seconds, and you slow down all of your mail so it takes 12 seconds to dump out 3000 emails, then you have done little if anything to solve the problem despite your efforts. You have to tailor what it is you do to how they have the server set up. So... do you know what their mail spooler interval is on the server? -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
