Cfmail help

[Myke Briskman]

I am using one page to process 2 different forms. All of the form
information is submitted correctly. The email that is generated however
arrives truncated. I am using MS Entourage to view my email and have triple
checked to assure I am able to view HTML emails (which I receive from any
other source correctly). The email comes in looking like this:

colspan="2" background="http://www.5stars4cheap.com/grafix/index2_05.jpg"
width="561" height="57"> .:. lign="center" width="35%"> "-1" face="Verdana,
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Day Phone: nt size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">afeks@bellsouth.net lvetica, sans-serif">Some

This message has been scanned for viruses and
dangerous content by Mail VirusGuard, and is
believed to be clean.

So what im wondering is, is it this virus guard that is truncated my email,
or could it be my mail application? I have tested this with webmail and ms
outlook for windows with the same results. So im guessing its the later but
not sure of a workaround. Below is my cfmail tag.

<
cfmail
to="me"
from="me"
subject="Submited from #form.Form_Name#"
type="html"
server="my mail server"

I need to use cfmail too send out a mass email, but I need to limit the number
of records out of about 45000 that get sent at any one time, say send 50
emails, wait 30 Minutes, then send 50 more, wait 30 min etc. etc. I am having
a really hard time, getting cf, to not duplicate records, very imparative that
I only send out one email per record.

Any help would be wonderful,

How many impressions are you getting with your advertising dollar?

Set a scheduled task that runs every 30 minutes. Then create a template that on
the first time it is run saves a query to an APPLICATION variable. Then just
use some logic and the startrow and maxrows attributes in cfmail to control how
many to send. When they have all been sent use cfschedule to delete the
scheduled task.

I really appreciate the help, but unfortunately I am a CFMX newbie and I
understand the words and what they mean, but I don't know how to do it, if you
could explain a little bit futher that would be wonderful.

Thank you for your time,

ANdy

If you don't know a lot about ColdFusion, perhaps you shouldn't try to use it
to send 45,000 emails out. At a rate of 50 every 30 minutes, it would take you
almost 3 weeks to get the messages sent.

If you're sending the same message to everyone, you should look into some sort
of listserv program for your email server. Another option would be to use a
bulk email service to handle it. You could use ColdFusion to generate a data
file with the email addresses.

If you're trying to send 45,000 individual emails, you should look into
something like ActivMail, which replaces the CFMAIL tag to handle bulk emails.
