When you use a query (instead of looping over the CFX_iMSMail tag) the delivery is more efficient. You would actually see the greatest throughput when there are several recipients in a single control file (which is what the CFX does for you) and there are no personalized mails. Once you use QTokens the mail has to be sent for each recipient. If the iMS server has 5 recipients in a control file with QTokens then the server will connect once to the remote server and do this:
HELO MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 1> DATA <mail sent here> RSET MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 2> DATA <mail sent here> RSET MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 3> DATA <mail sent here> RSET MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 4> DATA <mail sent here> RSET MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 5> DATA <mail sent here> QUIT If you don't use QTokens (ie - everyone receives the same email) then the entire transaction looks like this: HELO MAIL FROM: <xxx> RCPT TO: <recipient 1> RCPT TO: <recipient 2> RCPT TO: <recipient 3> RCPT TO: <recipient 4> RCPT TO: <recipient 5> DATA <mail sent here> QUIT So, the maximum throughput is when you don't use QTokens but most mail today will probably be personalized toward each recipient.
