Hello. We're starting an ezine service and are looking at a few ways of
doing it.
We've pretty much narrowed it down to either using Lyris list server,
or writing our own system in Cold Fusion, with IMail as the back end mail
server.
We've used IMail for 2+ years now and are pretty happy with it overall.
Has anyone ever benchmarked what the real capabilities of Imail are?
For example, how many emails can it send out an hour? Figure
an average of 15k per message...
While there will be some inbound (subscribe, unsubscribe, postings by list
administrator), the vast majority of the traffic will be outbound.
A couple of questions:
1. Is there a performance gain to send a message to ourselves
BCC: 100 users, as opposed to sending it directly to those 100 users?
2. Is there a performance gain (or even a way) for me to write directly to the
spool directory as opposed to "sending" the message out via CF_Mail tags?
And if you can write the "temporary" outbound mail file, is there a template
available for the info that needs to be included?
Thanks!
