Thanks, Daniel, but see my message to Len I just sent.  I guess I wasn't
clear when I was talking about the number.  The 25 and 1500 numbers I was
talking about are the number of recipients per list message.  Is there any
issue of increase that number -- the number of recipients per list
message -- to 20000 or 30000 or whatever?

Bob

Bob,

I did have a customer set it above 2000 and that caused SMTP32 errors (this
was about a year ago or more). I would not recommend anything above 2000.

The reason it got 'faster' was because the list created a much smaller
number of messages in the Queue, so IMail had SMTP32 processes available for
these and other messages. With the smaller number for Recipients, IMail put
hundreds of messages in the Queue and that exceeded the 30 SMTP processes it
would use by default. Once 30 SMTP32 processes were started, there were none
free for new mail to use.

MaxQueProc is a registry setting one can use to increase this capability.
Use with care and increase in regular amounts until you see best operation.
I would never more than double the number and then increase by the same
value (i.e. from 30 to 60 to 90.....). Watch your Resources!

Daniel Donnelly
