>- see footer for list info -< Hi. Does anyone have experience with using cfmail to generate 30,000+ personalised emails? At the moment I'm firing off an asynchronous gateway event which uses <cfmail query="recipients"> to do the job. However, as the mailing list grows it's starting to throw Java errors like:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded Various blogs mention changing the heap, collection agressiveness and stuff but there doesn't seem to be a specific figure that I'm supposed to change the settings to. It seems very much "finger in the air" and as this is a production server I don't want to experiment too much. Has anyone found settings that work nicely for them to avoid the above error? I'm wondering if the email job needs to be broken down into smaller batches of 1000 for example? Is there something better than cfmail? I'm running CF 8.01 x64 on Win 2008 R2 with 2.5GB RAM with a Xeon 5530 2.4Ghz cpu. Thanks in advance for any pointers. I have a very small budget if anyone experienced with java settings and/or big mailing lists can give advice or code and wants something other than beer tokens.
