We've written our own 'spooling system' using SQL Server and an event script to fire off Jmail every five minutes. We've found this works a lot better than CF for bulk mail as you can use Microsoft's SMTP server and the pickup directory.

Not even through a registry setting, eh? Looks like any CF applications we had written for CF4 which were doing a self-paced delivery of messages should be rewritten. There's not much sense in it if CF has a maximum delivery speed of 400 messages per minute. I suppose 24,000 messages per hour is reasonable, but if you've got the processing power and adequate bandwidth, I don't understand why they'd want to impose this limit. The 64k limit of email message files in the spool directory, if I recall, is due to CF's file-naming convention. Is CF smart enough to re-use file names in a cyclic manner - moving files out of the spool in a way that lets it re-use file names such that you can always get 64k files in the spool?
