Can anybody recommend a few I should take a look at? We would need the ability to create a message and list dynamically and easily. An example is that recruitment would want to send a certain message to all donors with an AB-blood type that live within 5 specific area codes. We have the tools that will generate that list of e-mail address, and of course it is very easy, albeit slow, to send a message to that list. ....3. If you do need personalization, you can use the built-in SMTP Service ....that is part of IIS to do the sending. Write the message files directly ....to ....the \mailroot\pickup directory and the IIS spooler will grab them and ....attempt delivery immediately, effectively bypassing the ColdFusion e-mail ....spooler. Do this in batches to 1,000 every minute or so and they should ....all ....go out within half an hour. This directory would be found on the mail server I presume? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
