Just as a vote of confidence for Witango 5's email function. My servers process between 60,000 and 100,000 customized emails per day. These emails are transferred to the email server using the Witango Email Action. I built an advanced queuing system that divides the load evenly throughout the day, so as to not stress the servers or bandwidth with one large burst.

The email must contain a PDF attachment. Is it possible to do this via the SMTP queue? I've been reading up on creating SMTP emails, and I think I've got most of it figured out except for this. If not, I'm back to needing a safe number for batching Tango2000 emails.
