Hi,
CAn somebody tell me whether I can send mails to a large no. of recepients something like 10000+ recepients at one time. Is it possible send mail to that many recepients.Does ASP mailing has a fixed no. of recepients to whom I can send mail at one time. If so what is the max. no. i can send to.

Use CDO

Yes put them in a loop

Not that I am aware of - Your hardware/server resources would be the limiting factor.

I use CDOSys these days

If you are trying to do that using SMTP service on windows, then the default is 100 recipients per message which is again configurable to your own value. I am not sure of that can be to that many number of recipients you are looking for.

ALso there is something like "Limit number of messages per connection to" which is default to "20", again configurable. Also not sure if the combination of these two should decide what would be the output. I haven't tried all that so far.

I would suggest you to make the number of recipients to something around 200 or 300, and have a loop in your code that picks 300 recipients every time and sends out mail to them, than trying to send out mails to all 10000+ recipients, which I don't think to be a wise option. That might even put more stress on your server when tried and might cause some thing wierd in behaviour.

You can try that and increase the recipients gradually and end up at some range where it doesn't cause problems to the server.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
