Populate a temporary database table with all the emails.

Setup a scheduled job to run every half hour (or whatever), which will read
a batch of X records, loop through them, send the email, and remove them
from the database table (or update a flag, as appropriate).

At the end of each cfloop iteration, you can do this to make it pause for a
bit:
<cfset thread = createObject("java", "java.lang.Thread")/>
<cfset thread.sleep(javaCast("long", 3000))/> <!--- 3 seconds --->

Hi,

I need to create a function to send an email newsletter. The code will
loop over the list so that each mail is sent to just one address.

I also want to send the emails out in batches, with a short pause
between each mail sent, and a longer pause between each batch.

What would be the best way to do this in CF?

Thanks, D
