CDONTS Mailer Limitations

I'm looking to manage an email list with SQL server and send out newsletters. Does anyone have an idea of the limitations of sending emails with CDONTS.MAIL object? How long would it take to send out 1000 emails via asp. I guess there are many variables with that, but that's say there were no attachments and we have 15k emails. These news letters really will only be sent once a month or so. But lets say our list grows to 10000 users or even 100,000. Is that a good idea to send 100,000 thousand emails through an asp page? I wouldn't think so .

Since you never know in advance how many people will subscribe to your newsletter, I would suggest preparing for the worst.

The worst would be that in a month 10 000 users did register. Using asp to send such emails would be crazy/not efficient.

Ask your company if they can buy a software that would email such a list.

I don't have any examples/company names but a little search on google.com for "SENDING mass emails" or anything in that flavor should give you some results.

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Vlince
