We contacted the makers and they told us that the "pro version" (250 user)
we have will slow down sending mail after a Approx, 5000 messages per day
have been reached. (I do not remember the exact number of messages) If we
upgraded to the enterprise version we would not see the slowdown. Even
though it would be just a SN that we would plug-in to our existing server to
make the server the enterprise version. : - (
The solution found at http://tutorial256.easycfm.com/ would work very well,
(in fact I am using something like that for another client.) But, I have
several clients mail list that I can't spend the time on rebuilding. I wish
I could.
I think tweaking something like the spooler frequency in the CFADMIN is what
I am looking for.
Does anyone know how many messages the spooler will take each time it checks
for new messages? Can that be tweaked in one of the xml config files?

Subject: Re: Slow Down CFmail?
What mail server is it? the one that comes with IIS as an smtp server?
I could be wrong, but instead of connecting to the mail server you can
simply change the script to write each mail in a format (that I would
have to look up) to a folder that is the outbound directory. I might
be wrong as I looked at this a long time ago
hope that gives you an idea... other wise you could do a "count" so
that each message would have to wait a while to send.... although I
would think this is a bad thing
I hope that helps in some way
