Thanks Howie for the quick response. One more question: If a control file has 100 emails and of these 100, 1 is a bad email address which will eventuall bounce. So does the POST server wait for all the send attempts for all emails to complete before it sends status information to ReportPostStatus.cfm OR does it send a status for the 99 good emails immediately to ReportPostStatus.cfm?

The POST Server will reject recipients that do not have at leaset an "@" and a "." in the address. In that case you would see a message in the log file that there were not valid recipients. If you need these to be reported in the ReportPostStatus template then we would have to reconfigure the server to do this. As for the second address - you would have to look in the POST log file to see what happened. > > 2. Lets say we send to a list of 50000 recipients and of these 10000 are > aol.com addresses.

The server checks each queue (0 to 9) in order and for each queue it selects the control file that has the oldest NEXT value until the next waiting mail in the queue is not yet scheduled for delivery (usually mail retries would be in this category). When the CFX tag creates mail files the NEXT parameter is set to the current date/time.
