Have you actually looked at the mail server itself to see if the emails are
getting there? I know that CF will send the emails to the cfusion> mail >
spool folder in a matter of seconds, but once the individual emails are in
the spool folder, they go out at a rate of 100 every 15 seconds (default is
60 seconds in the CF Administrator). That's the setting I'm trying to
increase. I have a job coming up that is 400,000 emails, and I would love
to speed up the process so my mail server isn't sitting idle while
ColdFusion sends 24,000 messages per hour to the mail server.
