So CF needs to connect to an SMTP server... That smtp server then relays the mail to the real world...

But that implies sending out to the same smart host or smtp server in order to keep the connection open. Are these e-mails being sent onwards to a smart host (mail relay) from the Cold Fusion server, or directly out to destination mail servers? - Peter -----Original Message----- From: Paul Fennell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2003 14:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] OT: Bulk Email Well if ben is to believed " For starters, in ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise, it is possible to allocate multiple mail delivery threads and also keep SMTP connections open. The combination of these two features introduces mail delivery throughput that exceeds anything possible in prior versions of ColdFusion. On test boxes, the CFMAIL tag has been clocking delivery of over 1,000,000 messages an hour!" http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/intro_61.html -----Original Message----- From: Alex Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2003 13:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT: Bulk Email Guys, Don't know if anyone has a lot of experience with bulk email sending, but anyone got any ideas on the sort of infrastructure required to send 50,000 80k emails in 2-3 hours. Obviously a great big fat internet connection which is fine, I'm not sure at this stage whether they would need to be personalised or not, does the new version of CFMX enterprise support this sort of throughput, and does anyone know of a mailserver that would take this sort of hammering?
