My experience is that when I send a lot of mail all at once, WebDNA writes them to disk immediately, but the serv= er chugs them out from the mail folder one at a time, so it might take an hour for a few hundred to go.=A0Would that send= up a red flag? I don't think it would.=A0They are individual mails, generated in a founditems, like yours, as opposed to a = list of addresses in a single mail's CC or BCC field. Those are the ones ISPs like to squash (for good reason).=A0
