I thnik the maximum number of mails you can send using CDonts depends on the SMTP server settings.
Like my computer shows default 20 emails per connection.
try to set the maximum outgoing mails per connection as per your needs on your server.
hope it works

if ur sending the same email to everyone, why dont u just use a loop to loop through all of ur users??? ie set up the loop so that it sends emails to each one ur users email addresses.. This is the easiest way..

I have to retrive User from DB2 DB that is in another server and laso in mainframe region i have got around 50000 customers when i retrive from DB i have to check the lot of crendential in WHERE condn also so surely it will give timed out error,for that purpose only i am goin for this one

Hey Murali,

The one mentioned by iniro refers to number of messages per connection=20. As per SMTP server settings the number of receipients per message is default to 100, which can be changed to a bit higher value, if required, but not too high. So you may connect to you DB to retrieve all the recipients and loop through to send mails to thise recipients in a bunch of 100, that was you would require to loop through a maximum of 500 times. I would suggest you use this in a VBscript file and schedule it as a task on the OS to run at different intervals till it send out to all the recipients, than running it as an ASP file, since this might timeout, if it takes more time to loop through.

Hope that explains.
Cheers!

u can use server.timeout property to increase time of execution.

put server.timeout in the top of page. like:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Server.ScriptTimeout = 200 %>

200 is showen number of seconds. The default is 90 seconds. You can increase it as your desire, like 2000, 100000 etc.

Then you can retrive values from database and email then by using loop.

i am sending 100,000 emails daily by using this.
