I am going to be developing a subscription mailing list on a Win2k server using ASP 3.0 and MSSQL 2000. The subscriber list could get into the thousands. Can CDONTS handle this kind of load or do I need to look into other options? Thanks for yourhelp!

In early time, we use ASP for mailling list, our subscriber more than 60000, it's work well, but it is heavy work on our server, it is a Dual-Xeon with 2G Memory.

Microsoft recommends cdosys.dll for Windows 2000 over cdonts. Check www.cdolive.com for scripts. You might also think about using SQL Mail since the list is already in the database. Resources already delegated to MSSQL are at the ready. You can avoid pressing the server further by using an external process.
