I've got a couple of reasonalby large double-opt-in lists I need to send email alerts.
10,000 emails at a pop. I was using the ActiveMail tag to handle this mail blast on our cf5 box, and it was going out fairly quick. I have tried to move this blast to our cfmx7 server, and ActiveMail is bringing the server down (4 proc, 4 gb, 2 mail servers). When it works, it takes more than 15 minutes. I have tried to switch back to the built-in cfmail tag, and that just brought the systems to their knees. (cf server and mail servers) How long should it take to spool 10,000 emails (same email to all subs)? What is the best I can hope for for speed? What can I do to speed this up? Are there other mail systems I should be looking at instead? Thanks for any pointers.
