I do the same thing for my onlysimchas.com email lists. I have it set to
send 500 mails every 3 minutes, which is safe.
Last time I bumped it up, I actually ended up causing the CF Mail Spool
delivery thread to die, causing all mail outbound from the site to sit
in the spool forever.
Just a head's up, so be careful, as I don't know what caused that..

I send out about 30,000 emails every morning for the BlueEar.com web
site. I
created scheduled tasks that compiles the newsletters and then creates a
scheduled task that runs every few minutes and grabs 500 subscribers at
a
time for a given subscription (BlueEar.com has multiple subscription
Options). After the list of subscribers have all been ran it resets the
Sent
Status for each subscriber and deletes the Scheduled Task.
I have ran it this way on CF5 for the last few years and just in the
last
few weeks on CFMX without any problems. I am thinking of bumping it up
to
700 and maybe 1000 subscribers at once.

Subject: Sending lots of mail
I know this discussion came up before about how many emails can be sent
*reliably* using <cfmail> in CFMX 6.1. I'm curious what the numbers are
on that and then also what is out there that people would recommend for
doing mail-outs that are too big for CF. I'm thinking that I want to
use CF to give some Admin controls to users for formatting an email and
then sending to their list. Some of the lists for clients are upwards
of 2,000+ members. I'm thinking CF could probably handle one client at a
time doing this, but in the odd situation where two people are on at
once trying it, I'm afraid CF will choke. Is there some kind of
software (preferrably cheap or free) that can actually handle the
"mailing" part in the background without slowing down CF? Let me know.
