Using RMail on a 32-bit 9.5 system. Client is going to be interested in sending out an email with attachment to a very large group of people. When I test this with 30 people, emails without an attachment take about 2-3 seconds to send out. When I include a 1.7MB PDF file as an attachment, each email takes about 1 min 15 seconds which won't be real easy with hundreds to send out. (I ran it from the server itself, not a workstation)
So first question is if this seems like a "normal" amount of time. Otherwise, should I think about instead doing a "bcc" to everyone? Is there a practical limit to the number of "add_bcc_recipient" addresses I can do in one email, or is it simply based on an email server's spam limit? I guess I would declare a cursor, set a counter loop and keep sending "add_bcc_recipient" for a bunch of them, right? Karen
