> We could send 300-500 at a time - would this help matters? 300-500 serialized recipients "at a time" is not a relevant figure. What's important is how many parallel sets of serialized recipients you're attempting to send. Imail can't handle a large number of parallel processes, so it ends up laying the processes end to end (without giving you feedback to that effect). The delay between the processes can be lessened considerably if you are running a Declude product, as Scott has treated one of Imail's process overflow issues in his product. And the more upstream Smart Hosts you can use (MS SMTP will do fine) to take the end-to-end sending tasks off the Imail box, the better for timely delivery.
If your client is willing to pay for whatever you specify, this can be done with Imail and an array of MS SMTP servers. It is not, however, the best setup for list serving, since you basically have to do an end-run around Imail's inherent limitations to keep Imail in the picure. > Is there a CLI for the lists, or do you just send an email using imail1.exe > to the recipient? You send an e-mail to the list address--just as you do with this list (the Imail Forum!). Yes, this could be done using IMAIL1 as the MUA. -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
