Yes, and yes.
First, are you 100% sure that your domain hasn't been added to AOL's list of
spamming domains? If that is the case, it's not going to matter how you
send them out. If you send a message from that domain to AOL.com using
outlook does it also bounce?
Also, legend has it that some ISP's have been known to block CFMAIL
generated mail if it contains the "X-Mailer: Allaire ColdFusion" header.
What version of CF are you using? I don't think the newer versin do this
anymore.
I seriously doubt it's the rate you are sending the messages that's causing
your problem. If you want to slow down your outbound mail a little bit, you
can change the reg key at "HLM > Software
> Allaire > ColdFusion > CurrentVersion > Server > SpoolerInterval" to a
higher value. The number in this key is the amount of time (in seconds)
that CF waits before sending a "batch" of 100 email messages to the SMTP
server. Increase it to 120 and it will forward 100 messages every two
minutes.
What exactly do the bounced mails say? There should be a reason listed in
the bounce message.
