CF uses Javamail under the covers, and Javamail is certainly capable of this. However, there are differences between Enterprise and Standard with regard to sending mail, so you will probably need Enterprise for this. You'll also need a reliable and fast SMTP server to accept the mail from CF. All that said, Denny's recommendation to have this done by a specialized service may be a good idea. Just because you can send lots of mail from CF doesn't mean that people will get it.
