Hi,
Thanks for all the input so far. A few of the questions from Kevin are in our case:
>2) What are the filesystem limits (Win2k/Linux, etc)?
Both the CF server and SMTP server are on Windows (though if we send mail via our ISP I couldn't say for sure what SMTP server/platform they are running, it isn't actually on the same box as our CF server and we don't have access to the CF admin)
>3) Is the Windows SMTP Server really a good option to send the CFMail to?
I have been told that no matter which SMTP server we use, internal or ISP, that the volume of mail will not present a problem.
jms.
