That sounds very interesting. Could you include a code snippet or example to show me how to do what you're proposing. I'm not sure the host will allow it but it's definitely worth looking into.

If you're on a Windows server and have access to the built-in IIS SMTP service, setup a secure relay there and use CFFILE to dump messages directly into its pickup directory. Just run the query, run an output loop over the recordset and you should be fine. If you do this, use CreateUUID() to name the files so they will be unique. That SMTP service picks up the files VERY fast. I used this method for a client that specializes in bulk mailing (double opt-in newsletters, not spam) on a daily basis. Their lists were upwards of around 150,000 subscribers each and the CF portion would usually run in about 5 minutes or so. Since you're only doing 5-10 thousand messages, it should run fast enough for the client to not notice. Another option is to "queue" the messages in the database and run the mailing process as a scheduled event where the client wouldn't even see the mailing in progress. It would also eliminate them reloading the page and re-sending the same content over again. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
