First, the volumes of e-mail you're talking about may sound like a lot, but they're really not. We have CF apps that do close to half a million messages a day during peak times. (Marketing around holidays, primarily) We use the IIS SMTP service for outgoing delivery. If their e-mails are pretty spread out, 300k/mo would work out to about 830/hour if spread out over 12 hours a day. The IIS SMTP service won't even notice load like that. Install the IIS SMTP service on a server that doesn't already have mail services, ensure it has reverse DNS configured, add its IP to any SPF records you may have for domains you're sending for, configure it to allow relay from your localhost and any other IPs you control, and point ColdFusion at it for e-mail delivery. Simple and no extra hardware needed. All of this assumes you're running Windows, of course. If you're on a *nix platform look at Exim as it can also handle low volume like that without breaking a sweat. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355379 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
