Ahh ok, gotcha. That should be pretty easy replicate. > Mail is send from the server, not from the client, so the speed of the client connection is irrelevant.
Just another side as to why I thought what I did about that Jochem, but if I trigger the page locally... it takes about half a second to process. If I remote into a computer off site and hit the page remotely (or have someone else do it) it takes MUCH longer to process. When I did it locally, the page request was over like I said... about half a second but the spool directory still had emails in it that gradually kept disappearing as they sent. So if the there is that much of a difference just spooling the emails why wouldnt the user's speed matter and what is the cause of that huge difference. Normal pages with no excessive processing are pretty quick locally and remotely. That might sound like an argument but it's not. Take it as a request for clarification and reasoning not a debate invitation, because quite frankly, I dont know... I'm just assuming :-) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I created two templates to get things started. cfmailer_setup.cfm mailer.cfm cfmailer.cfm - basically sets the batches up. To keep the batches from overlapping...what I did was set a server variable which consisted of an array with blank strings. Something like <cfset server.arr_jbe_taskrun = arraynew(1)>... then it would set the batches up as scheduled tasks... These tasks would then call the mailer.cfm page, passing in appropriate url variables. mailer.cfm - would check to see if any array spaces were open / blank and if so would write its scheduled task id into that free space and then continue on to process the batch. Obviously then if there are no free spaces then a call needs to be made to cfmailer_setup.cfm to reschedule the remaining batches. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:251918 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
