5000 emails shouldn't be a problem. which version of CF are you using? even on 4.5 I think this would be ok.

I've never had to ever send this many emails in one go so I'm curious as to how best to send them without breaking the mail server and I'm sure this number may double in the future. I would have thought breaking them up into batches of 100 or so might do the trick with maybe a delay between the sends but Im sure you guys must have done something similar so its best practices territory again :�) Thanks in advance for any help :�) Regards Stephen Pope Web Developer Eduserv Internet managed hosting and development _____ [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tel: +44 (0)1225 474300 fax: +44 (0)1225 474301 http://www.eduserv.org.uk/internet/ _____ Eduserv Internet is a service of Eduserv Technologies Ltd -- ** Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.cfdeveloper.co.uk/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
