I hope the customer has a nice net feed. Assuming each message (with headers) is 1024 bytes, it would require about 9.2 Mbit/s just for the messages, not even including the TCP/IP overhead, etc.
To get that many messages, you're looking at multiple SMTP spooling servers (the IIS SMTP spooler on each would work just fine, or maybe some Linux/BSD servers running sendmail?). Multiple CF boxes would probably also be required to create the messages to drop into the mail spools at that rate. If your e-mails are static, you would probably be better off outsourcing it to a company that specializes in mass e-mail handling. I can't think of any services right off hand though.. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Warrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 6:15 PM Subject: 4 million messages per hour - is it possible? > Hello, > > Has anyone had experience in creating an emailing solution driven by > ColdFusion and SQL on any platform with any mail server that is capable of > handling 4 million deliveries an hour?
