i write every message i want to send to a db. then i loop through the database 5 at a time, and send them. each has its own unique message id and for each one that sends out without error, i mark as sent.
then i go back over the ones that are not marked as sent and resend. anything over 4 retries, dies. tw On 3/13/06, Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, do not use CFMAIL for large mail sets! :-p It alledgedly has great > performance but for our listing where we send anything from 10-100K at a > time it bombed. > > What we ended up doing was writing a custom tag which wrote the emails > directly to the output queue of the SMTP server itself - much faster and far > more reliable. > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Smith, Daron [PA] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 March 2006 13:15 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CFMAIL and performance > > Does anyone know the performance limitations of CFMAIL.
