[thelist] Script Time Out in ASP

[David at softv.net]

SendToQueque would be a good idea for sending out mass mailings.
Another option is that most SMTP components allow you to specify many
recipients as the "To:" parameter.
Your present logic is as follows: 
1) Get ALL the email adrresses
2) loop through the recordset, sending an email for the current record

You're creaing a mail object for each email - thats 300 objects!
yikes...

Perhaps try sending out an email for every 10, 20, 30 recipients as
multiple recipients.
As a simpler solution, try moving your object creation and destruction
outside of the loop, so that you are not creating it so many time.

Yeah, I think he's on the right track too.  I'm just looking at the
ASPEmail
documentation and have asked my host for some further information, and
if
they can install an additional component, SendToQueue, which should
solve
the problem.  If they say no, I'll play with the Timeout and Priority
values
and see what I can come up with.

Thanks guys,

Mich
