How much volume are they looking at? I'm not a PHP junkie, but I would assume there's more work involved with sending mail from PHP than CF. CFMAIL is fairly safe if used on a low-volume basis in my experience. There is a limit to the number of files that can be in the queue, and zero-byte files can stop the queue from being processed until manually removed (at least in 4.5- not sure about 5). If doing high volumes of mail, use CFFILE to write directly to the pickup directory of your SMTP server. Microsoft's SMTP service that ships with IIS is great for this if configured properly. I have heard of people doing the same thing with sendmail on linux. This technique also should also work for PHP, though I've never tried it. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
