Hi - you could try sending the email directly, i.e. bypass WebDNA. =C2  I write all the emails out into a folder, list through = the files and then use [shell] to send the emails out. =C2 I find this = is much faster than WebDNA - about 10 mins to send 10k emails.

This also lets me specify the return-path so I can configure auto-bounce management. =C2 The shell command I use is within the [listfiles] is as follows:
