Our mx cache is set to 1000. You may want to increase it a bit. The delivery to many
subscribers depends on the method of delivery. What I mean by this is - are all the
subscribers getting custom emails? If so, then iMS 2.1 will be much better at
delivery than iMS 2.0 and lower. 2.1 allows you to have custom information for each
client in a single control file (no looping the cfx in a query). If this is the kind
of mail you are delivering then I would upgrade to 2.1 when it is released because
there is no way that 2.0 and below can deliver this type of mail with the same
efficiency.
Regards,
Howie
