OK, I'm uploading the new improved code now. What I did, in a nutshell:
* Created a mail spool table in the database (storing
to/from/subject/htmlcontent/textcontent/etc.)
* Created a series of CFC's:
+ one inserts a record into the spool table
+ one cfc returns top _x_ messages in a query

You may have better luck just paying for SMTP services from a company who
doesn't mind you sending that many emails at once.
Last night I sent some code which does works to throttle email. I use it all
the time. If you can't sort out how it works feel free to give me a shout

It's much more than just sending that many at once. Most recipient email
servers will kick you out for sending too many, too fast, as well.
ie. yahoo will ban you for 48 hours if you try to delivery too many emails
in a short period of time. To delivery effectively you also need

I believe you will need to account for that throttling in your code.
Once your CFMAIL tag as run, the CF server will sent your messages as
soon as the mail spooler runs next. I suggest a queue table of your own
that you dump ALL the E-mails into and a job that polls that table and
sends out x

my Web Host's Sysadmin. Don't know what he did but I now send out 3,000+

The emails are completely opt-in, and there are links in the footer of each
email to both immediately remove from the email list and also change their
email preferences.

One thing you could do instead of calling cfmail insert the
details into a DB table (to,from, cc, subject, type, content, etc)...
then have a scheduled task that runs every minute send out 100 emails
from the table and flag them as sent. Then, it takes a minimum of 20
minutes to send out
That's exactly what the routine I sent out a few minutes ago does.

Using CF_Sleep to pause 30 seconds 1000 times is probably not a very good
idea. You'd be tying up a CF thread
why one would do this escapes me.
I have several clients on my server with CF-based mail lists, (addresses
collected from their web sites, or added in via an admin interface). Since
they control their actions as to when and how much mail they send,
throttling the rate is a safety precaution.
Subject: RE: Throttling CFMAIL
Did you mean cfx_sleep? If so, I don't know if that will work since I am
only using 1 cfmail inference in my code, upon which all 1,000 e-mail
addresses get passed to it at once.
Oh, just saw Cameron's reply come in, which I will answer.

If you are having a problem with AOL, you should contact their support
lines. Usually it has to do with a DNS issue with your mail server. AOL
doesn't allow emails to come in that have problems with DNS or reverse DNS

AOL would definitely reject a single mail with 1500 recipients...

If you pump out too much mail too fast via CFMAIL, CF dumps it
into the c:\CFUSION\UNDELIVR folder.
This tag moves that mail right back into c:\cfusion\mail, so CF
