Hi, When my site was quite new, I had no problems in sending out a mailing list using <Cfmail> in 4.5 - but as the userbase grew, cfmail couldn't cope. Problems started once I'd reached just 100 members, so I had to look into an alternative newsletter solution. (I still use Gordano's mailing list software in their suite of products which is very fast, but doesn't have any ability to integrate itself with a DB like Cfmail)
I know some people in cf-talk had no problems with cfmail in 4.5 but, IIRC, the general consensus was that it wasn't as fast as it could have been, especially a) on a shared server and b) on a server not built for dedicated mass-mailings. I've nearly finished re-writing my site for production on a MX server (running IIS I believe...), and was wondering what - if any - performance difference there is in cfmail. Has anyone who once had cfmail probs in 4.5 found MX's cfmail more reliable / fast? I'd really like to send out a personalised email to all my members when the site is re-launched (about 4500) in one go - is this wise? Should I look into running a scheduled task for my newsletters whereby it sends x records/minute? (or perhaps surnames A-D, then E-G etc)? Any thoughts much appreciated Will ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
