When Sonic Mail Server gets about 300 pieces of mail in the outgoing file, it shuts down. I've given it more ram and played with the settings and that was the best results that I could get from Sonic Mail Server. I'm not questioning the ability of WebCatalog to do its job. My Emilers ticks are set at 300 and also NOTES Do not lower this number unless your mail server can handle a faster load. and Sonic Mial Server or any mail server can't handle what WebCatalog can through at it. Like I said before, my mail idea was for large mailings (mass mailing).
