Hey there --

We're having issues when sending out large numbers of E-mails in rapid 
succession using the cfx_iMSmail tag.

We have a CF page that's looping over a list of E-mail addresses (between 
5,000 and 10,000), and then calling cfx_iMSmail for each address. (Don't 
ask why we're not just handing all the addresses directly to iMS -- it's a 
long story.  Suffice it to say we need to loop over them like this.)  The 
ColdFusion page doing the loop was consistently timing out, so we added 
some logging of our own and upped the timeout drastically -- what we're 
seeing is that each call to the cfx takes a different amount of time, and 
some of those lengths of time are pretty long.  For instance (this log is 
one we're writing out ourselves, each time through the loop):

2001-11-27 10:45:00 (422 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2001-11-27 10:45:00 (250 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2001-11-27 10:45:00 (187 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2001-11-27 10:45:09 (8704 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (Note -- EIGHT 
seconds!)

and

2001-11-27 10:46:48 (765 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2001-11-27 10:46:49 (235 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2001-11-27 10:46:50 (1109 ms) HTML: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only thing that's happening within the loop is the cfx tag, I 
swear.  Any ideas?  Why are some of these taking so much longer than 
others?  Is there anything we can do to reduce the amount of time it's 
taking to spool them out?

Thanks!
