Since it is an existing system then wouldn't you be able to quickly tell if you are having performance issues and then trickle down to the root sources of those?
I know of some CF8 systems out there using IIS for email and even hosting the SQL Servers on the same machines but never run into performance issues. Every combination is of course unique and can perform drastically different than another. I personally would say always use an external mail server but I should note I have seen where Exchange Server tosses back errors to the CF server when sending out thousands of mails a day. So switching to Exchange may fix one issue but create another. On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 10:21 AM, Mark Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Curious as to others thoughts on this.
