Mike thanks for your reply. The database option is not workable because if the database fails (which in the past has been our biggest headache). We wouldn't get any emails. I could see checking for the database first, and if it's up, doing as you said. But if it's down I still need to be able to throttle the emails. On your other point, the custom tag we are using currently for sending emails send to our sysadmin group for the application or server. That could be one or many people.
