When we send our weekly e-newsletter (list of 8500 emails) our network guy
complains that we're putting our server up to 100% and it kills the shop
(asp, MS Site Server Commerce) and the site only comes up again after a re
boot.

Can anyone give any suggestions as to whether putting the server up to
100% usage would be such a huge problem?   I thought that was the idea -
to use full processing power to do the job as fast as possible.  If it
isnt desirable,  how can I reduce the demand on teh server that this email
uses?   (It's just a CFMAIL app sending a plain text email to addresses
pulled from our SQLServer7 database).

If it's OK to have the server at 100%, what else might be causing this
kind of problem that I'm getting blamed for?
