Sorry. Just following up on this idea. I'm getting a third server, and was planning on having it do only SMPT email delivery for the websites, which, right now, all totalled probably come to more like 250,000 a month. I know this isn't a lot, but about 50,000 are released in a big spurt every

the best tool for delivering large amounts of email from CF. I saw that Russ Michaels mentioned sendgrid.net in a post a couple days ago about CFMAIL dropping some emails. This client knows that their needs are going to grow beyond the 300,000 ($200/mo) limit in a short amount of time, and so

. The current concept is for me to get another server specifically for their email delivery, and to move their app to my CF machine and their database to my SQL machine.

They send out a little over 100,000 emails a month. As much as that may sound, it's not a lot of email. Just about any SMTP server can handle that volume. The real trick is timing. If all 100K go out at once then you will need to throttle the output not because of server load but because the

Google Apps is $5 per user per month or $50 per user per year? And Google defines a user as a distinct email inbox. Wow, I'm running SmarterMail 11 that came free with my Virtual Dedicated Server with CF9. Google would cost me about $500 per month! I can do the extra work for that kind of

The iis smtp service is ok for absolute no frills, don't care at all what happens to the emails. But the logging is pretty rubbish, so tracking down causes of failures is often very hard or impossible. It doesn't compare to smartermail or hmail which are both free to use for smtp. Regards Russ
