Jeff,
With 3000 members and the 'Number...' set to 1000, this list will put 3
messages, each with 1000 recipients, into the Queue. Set to 500 and 6
message will be in the Queue. I'd suggest a setting of about 200, which will
put 15 messages in the Queue and leave 15 SMTP32 processes free for other
email.
If you have multiple lists and expect all to get traffic, then use a bigger
number, not to exceed 2000.
