Don't you just love scope creep? ;) In addition to help suggestions from other people, consider this: 1/ if you're sending out the same e-mail to everyone else, what about using a dedicated mailing list tool (such as mailman, listserv, etc)? That way your program sends one e-mail to the mailing list server and it handles distribution. 2/ Do you have to start 1 thread for each e-mail? What about a work queue or leaders/followers setup? (See any book on threading for examples.) Long story short: these and other thread patterns funnel X number of jobs -- in your case, sending e-mail -- through Y number of threads. X > Y. Say you have 400 addys and 5 threads: each thread should take 80 addresses in sequence. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
