We send out about 40000 emails every 2 to 3 weeks and they are sent out 200 every 2
minutes using the cf scheduler.
But we are using Linux with Linux also as the mail server which cannot be compared
really if you are using a Windows Mail Server.
If you have 1500 then 50/100 every minute or two should be OK.

Subject: [cfmail] [ cf-dev ] CFSchedule to build emailer
Hi All,
Has anyone any opinions on this plan of mine. As CFMAIL with QUERY= is
so unreliable I'm thinking of using some kind of scheduled email sending
based upon some nominal option like first letter of email address. Our email
marketing list is less than 1500 addresses ( all opt-in, of course!! ), but
I don't want the whole job taking more than, say 3 or 4 hours- breaking news
is hardly breaking 5 hours later.
So are there any reasons why CFMAIL can't handle spooling, say 20 emails
at a time, each batch sent every 5 minutes? Has anyone successfully handled
larger volume without using 3rd party mail software?
Thanks,
Kevin
