Good luck on the throttling.
I never could get it to work but was able to come to an understanding with
my Web Host's Sysadmin. Don't know what he did but I now send out 3,000+
with a single click using:
<CFLOOP list="#Form.SelectedRecipients#" index="Recipient">
<CFMAIL
from="#Form.Sender#"
to="#Recipient#"
subject="#Form.Subject#"
type="HTML"
>
***content***
</CFMAIL>
</CFLOOP>
and they loop thru the spooler smooth as silk.
One other suggestion, based on sad experience, assuming yours is an "opt-in"
list, be sure you give subscribers a readily available "unsubscribe" link.
Many AOL users are too lazy to ask to be removed and will just click the
"This is spam" button which puts your ISP's server on a blacklist.

Subject: Throttling CFMail
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.
Pete
