Bob,
I fugured that out and that was what my reply was addressing. 2000 is what I
would recommend for a maximum!
As for a bad address, it would just make that delivery 'take longer'
(assuming things like timeouts and bad/missing DNS data) and ultimately
return a message to the owner of the list, that it had problems with that
address. IMail will continue through the list of addresses, delivering to
each, removing those that are succesful. Only when it has tried all the
addresses, would it increment the 'Tries' counter and wait until the next
Queue time, to start delivering to the addresses it could not on the first
attempt. Repeat until delivered or Max Tries reached.
If you had 15 messages in the Queue, to 1500 addresses each, IMail will
start 15 processes and each will be open for as long as it is processing
that message (trying all addresses). If the same messages were to 1 address
each, they would open/close MUCH faster than the ones with 1500 addresses to
process. So, the answer is it would make that process that has the bad
address, take longer, not affecting (well, there is some effect, just
because more overall resources are being, used by lots of addresses) the
other 14 processes.
