I believe you will need to account for that throttling in your code. Once your CFMAIL tag as run, the CF server will sent your messages as soon as the mail spooler runs next. I suggest a queue table of your own that you dump ALL the E-mails into and a job that polls that table and sends out x number of mails per minute.
Or, an even better solution would be to set up your own SMTP server or pay to use one that will allow for your load. ISP's tend to get very cranky if they think you are a spammer since that tends to get them blacklisted and they don't want that. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Throttling CFMail From: Pete Ruckelshaus <[email protected]> Date: Mon, August 24, 2009 3:58 pm To: cf-talk <[email protected]> I got dinged by my ISP for sending 2,000 email newsletters at once. Any ideas on how to "throttle" these emails so that they are sent in small batches, i.e. 100 per minute? Is there a simple way to accomplish this, or do I just need to write my own code that loops through and sends emails incrementally? Thanks.
