I have increased our MX cache to 1000, thanks for the advice.
All subscribers are receiving the exact same email for every delivery.
However, we must track successful as well as failed/rejected deliveries.
What I am looking for is an alternative way to record successful delivery
without having the "Success Notification" turned on, because as you stated
it does impact iMS performance.
Please give me any suggestions you have on this issue.

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
