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.

Jerry Johnson
