Hello Bud, I went through a conversation about this stuff over on the easycfm boards about a month back along with some of the other developers, you may want to give it a read through. You have plenty of choices on how to distribute the mail.
As Sean has suggested one option is to use the enterprise servers event gateway to process using the SMSC stuff, This is a great idea however after speaking to several service providers myself, it didnt become cost effective untill you're sending around 500,000 messages a month, which is probably unlikely for your application. You then have the mail solution also suggested, I know a few of the other devs are very keen on this, but you're then relying on POP for your processing which might not be a good idea, I've not worked with it so cant say for sure, but after speaking to servive providers and aggregators, they would prefer you post to thier service using some of the other protocols. Agregator services will most likely suit you best, You'll be able to post to them using a simple <cfhtttp> or a webservice call, these will be very reliable and accessible, and given the nature of your application, its very important those messages get distributed asap. You also have no need for enterprise level servers of costly contracts directly with the ISP, just buy that pre paid credit and you're set to go. Here's that link. http://www.easycfm.com/forums/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=12&Topic=11065 Hope that helps, Rob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
