The iis smtp service is ok for absolute no frills, don't care at all what happens to the emails. But the logging is pretty rubbish, so tracking down causes of failures is often very hard or impossible. It doesn't compare to smartermail or hmail which are both free to use for smtp. Regards Russ Mi

>> They send out a little over 100,000 emails a month. As much as that may sound, it's not a lot of email. Just about any SMTP server can handle that volume. The real trick is timing. If all 100K go out at once then you will need to throttle the output not because of server load but because th

1. 150k-200k emails/month isn't really that many for a dedicated or even shared server. 2. http://mandrill.com/ is another option and much less expensive than the sendgrid numbers you quoted. On 4/11/13 11:44 AM, Michael Muller wrote: > Hey all, > > Ok, so I'm all set on the question of SPF etc

Hey all, Ok, so I'm all set on the question of SPF etc. Here's another one. I am taking on a client who has an existing CF application. It's one of those 30%-off coupon things. They have a dedicated server right now that holds CF/SQL/SmarterMail all on one box. They send out a little over 100,
