D> I got a problem using Imail as a gateway. Is there some reason you must use IMAIL as a gateway? If that is the case then I think your choice is only to create several batches. You may need to experiment to find the most you can send without degrading IMAIL. The problem though will be that at some point there will be undeliverable messages which will cause IMAIL to degrade. D> over 150.000 users Posts to this forum have been pretty consistent that IMAIL will perform rather poorly when a large number of messages hit the queue at one time. This is especially true if there are messages which are undeliverable. I suppose this is okay if you are only using it for sending but if it is also receiving then you will probably have some rather upset users when their mail is delayed. D> and will then be sent (via microsoft SMTP) Why can't MS SMTP send direct? MS SMTP can deliver at rates of 30,000 messages per hour and better if you have plenty of bandwidth and are willing to give it sufficient resources. Just to compare Lyris MailEngine claims rates up to 150,000 messages per hour depending on resources and OS.
