>- see footer for list info -< I regularly use CF8 to send 20K - 40K of emails out using just standard settings, so wonder if there's something else going here?
At any rate, why not whack all the emails into a db table, then periodically check that table to see if there are any emails in there, and if so, send 1000 out, delete them and stop - wait for the next poll and so on until there's nothing left..
