Regarding the timeout... have you tried using the <Cfsetting> tag to disable the request timeout?
One thing you could do, assuming the email list is coming from a query, is have the query return only 1000 rows at a time and upon completion, meta refresh to itself passing in the next start row parameter... using the LIMIT clause in MySQL, for example... I solved this problem by actually writing an event gateway to do my mailings... the cfm page sends a message to the event gateway, and that's that. I don't THINK event gateways are subject to request timeouts because they're not "requests" Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:289460 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
