While sending multiple cfmail messages with attachments I have realized cfserver memory allocation problems. Has anybody else? WinNT CF Application Server 4.5 acquires large volumes of RAM each time when sending large volumes of cfmails(near 1000 email messages per time, using the query attribute - each having an attachment ranging in size from 30K to 300K). I understand that if CF needs more memory resources the service will claim that what it needs. According to the heaping protocol, it will not release the additionally acquired RAM, since the benefit of keeping the memory in-hand far out weighs the costs of releasing and re-acquiring it; assuming that more than likely it will be needed in the near future. I suppose this is reasonable, but why once the cfmails are sent is the memory not accounted for as available for use? Upon subsequent cfmailings with attachments, more memory is heaped in addition to that previously acquired. It seems inevitable that, with every batch of cfmails with attachments, this will happen again, end-on-end until the server runs out of available memory and crashes. I hypothesize that something is wrong here. Any other encounters of this kind out there? Is the cfmail spooler module flawed when it comes to attachments? Can you offer any alternatives and/or sugestions?
