That is doing up to 200 emails by basically the method Dan showed seemed to keep everything moving along nicely. Above 200 and we experienced crashes. Keep in mind that there a tons of variables that effect what your magic number is... not the least of which is whether you are using webDNA's built-in mailer, what OS you have, how fast the server can make outgoing mail connections, how may files can reasonable be handled by the OS without crashing and what impact this loop has on the responsiveness of the other people hitting all the other sites you host. Of course if you have no other sites and don't care, then crack the magic number up. For us, the primary constraint was the mac OS. Our webDNA runs on mac OS9 boxes. They don't like more than about 1000 files in a folder and sooner or later, everyone of those outgoing e-mails is a file served up the mailer on your box. For mailings that might go over 200, we use a spawn and waitforfile combo to spread out the load over time. ~joe -- _______________________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea ~ http://www.west21.com/ ~ JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century webhosting ~ co-location ~ Webcatalog programming ~ Database design ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
