Actually that is not true.
The way spooling works is that you tell it how long by a setting (this might be a CF8 feature) before it spools, the other added bonus to spooling is that the mail is only sent when the server is idle/low on activity. So in reality 10,000 emails could take 1-2 days to deliver from the spooling feature of Coldfusion. I had this problem with a previous client, where she asked why it took 2 days to deliver 10,000 emails. I assume that would be the reason for you to do this, the other thing that you could do is to use the gateway to fire off in the background to deliver emails in batches of 500 by doing a cfloop around the cfmail. But as you know there are many ways to skin a cat, but ultimately it will be the actual mail server, that will be sending emails. All coldfusion does is deliver to the mail server, for distribution from that point. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

I was thinking of spooling all email to a custom directory, have a task run over that directory to slowly send them out one by one, in a time defined by ourselves. -- >>> http://www.clickfind.com.au <http://www.clickfind.com.au/> Looking for a business, product or service?
