OK, I'm uploading the new & improved code now. What I did, in a nutshell: * Created a mail spool table in the database (storing to/from/subject/htmlcontent/textcontent/etc.) * Created a series of CFC's: + one inserts a record into the spool table + one cfc returns top _x_ messages in a query object, ordered by spool time ascending so the oldest messages get sent first. I have the default set to 100 but that can be overriden + another cfc returns messages by spool ID, in case I need to force send a message + another CFC sets a "sent" value in the mail spool table once the message is sent * created a mail spool gateway that has a scheduled task that runs every 5 minutes, sending 100 messages at a time
I still have some admin tools to create, but this will get me back in business. Thanks!
