I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the advice.

If you need a spooling interval that narrow then there is a chance that you shouldn't be using spooling at all. If 5 seconds was clearly better than 15 seconds then Adobe would have made that the default. Set the spooling interval to a value such that the entire spool folder can be cleared within the interval time. If you dump 100,000 emails into the spool folder and it takes CF 60 seconds to clear them out, then your spool interval should be greater than 60 seconds or you will have multiple threads competing with each other without providing any meaningful improvements and stealing processing power away from servicing site visitors. -Mike Chabot On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 2:28 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wouldn't increasing the spool interval just increase my problem? > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Chabot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 1:53 PM > To: cf-talk > Subject: Re: Mail Spooler > > The 5 second spool interval is a too quick if you are sending large > batches of emails.
