Remember also that the tag just writes the message to disk for the delivery spooler to pick up and hand off to your SMTP relay (in the default configuration, anyway). Once you push tens of thousands of messages into the spool things can get ugly if your SMTP relay can't keep up. Internally we stopped using the cfmail tag a while back and have our own custom tag which passes the message into a custom queue which writes MSG files directly to the pickup folders on one of several IIS SMTP relay servers for delivery. I've generally found that injecting the message directly into the queue of the SMTP server has been much faster than relying on CF's SMTP spooler to relay them via SMTP. Message size also plays as a factor as larger HTML-designed newsletters will take longer to push through than basic text-only notifications will. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336088 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
