That is usual. Web-databases are not built for such a job. I believe 5000 mails should go to a dedicated mailserver... Do you have a listserver around? If the mails are not personalized there are some techniques available, just two examples: send bunches of email addresses to the server as subscribing users and the text afterwards. Or let WebCat write the addresses onto a mounted volume in a pulsed manner to several files and have the mailserver pick them up. That will lighten the load on the webserver. Should work fine with SIMS or the Emailer as standalone program on a second machine.Peter __________________________________________ Peter Ostry - po@ostry.com - www.ostry.com Ostry & Partner - Ostry Internet Solutions Auhofstrasse 29 A-1130 Vienna Austria fon ++43-1-8777454 fax ++43-1-8777454-21
