Howdy... um... BlueDragonites?
What manner of high email volume have you put through your own OpenBD
system(s)?
Is there a known limit that's inherent to the nature of a default
install? (cache size, for example)?
How many messages have you parsed through ONE cfmail tag, without incident?
(start needless backstory)
I'd originally layered my own scripted release "throttle" on top of
ColdFusion MX's emailing system, using a scheduled job that peeled off a
few hundred addresses at a time from a database (every x minutes -
depending on how many mail jobs were running at once).
Not only was this originally designed to govern load on my ancient
processor & MTA (Sendmail), on what used to be a DSL connection, but at
the time I imagined that the larger ISPs might make blocklist decisions
based partially on slam events (when a specific IP makes deliveries to
multiple users in a MTA family - within a very short period).
This system gave me an average throughput of 25,000 personalized event
announcements a day from a single 300mHz MX server & MTA.
(end needless backstory)
But today... servers are better, connections are faster and OpenBD is
not MX. How do the CFMAIL tags differ?
Of specific concern is why the "SPOOLENABLE" attribute is not available.
Does this hamper high-volume performance, or is the attribute moot given
OpenBD's architecture (for example)?
Your experiences & observations are - as always - treasured.
