[thelist] cfmail (was: Formatting tips)

[Daniel J. Cody]

I would say anything over 50 emails in a batch constitutes 'large 
quantites'... CFMAIL is notorious for its less than good handling of 
large amounts of mail.

A better solution that I've found is to use CFFILE to write the messages 
directly to the MTA's(mail transfer agent, sendmail, postfix, exchange) 
queue. I'm just finishing up a rather long assed article on the 
evolt.org site about this exact subject.. It deals with CF and sending 
out large amounts of email..
stay tuned, it will hit this next week :)
