The problem with ASP is that each page needs to be called by a web browser inorder for the ASP page to run.

This means that it is not possiable with pure ASP to save the post,return the user to the page displaying the topic, then send the emails.As the page to send the emails needs to be called by the users webbrowser.

Hi!

Thanks for reply. But for certain reasons we can not unsubscribe them.

Has somebody considered the option to split up the process of posting a message in two preocesses.
1. saving the post into the database
2. sending email notification
The process of sving the post should be independent of sending emailnotification. The complition window appears write after the post issaved and not after all emails are sent.

The speed at which emails are sent always depends on the speed on yourmail server, a 'localhost' one like CDONTS uses will always be fasteras you don't have that network delay in contacting the mail server.

A 1000 emails does seem like allot of emails to be sending.

The only thing I can suggest is that all the email notifications arekept in the table tblEmailNotify in the database and that maybe itmight be worth deleting all entries in this table and if people do wantto re-subscribe to email notifications they can do.

However, most of the time people only subscribe to a particular topicwhich is why it seems strange that a 1000 emails are sent each time apost is made, unless for some strange reason all your members arerequesting email notification to all posts in that forum.

Having 1000 emails sent each time someone posts must also be a bigstrain on the server, so I would recommend trying to cut this amount.]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2005 10:50:21 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/too-long-to-send-email-notification_topic14168_post78441.html#78441 https://forums.webwiz.net/too-long-to-send-email-notification_topic14168_post78438.html#78438 Author: tomazk

Hy!

We are using this forum very successfully but have one problem. We haveover a 1000 users who have requested email notification. So, every timesomebody posts a post it takes more than a minute to send all mails andto display a message that the post has been posted. We are usingCDONTS. We also tried with CDOSYS (as is suggested in one of the postson your forum: http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=7750&KW=slow+post+reply), but it's the same.
What do you suggest? Do you have any experience with this problem. Doyou know any other web forums with such amount of requested emailnotification and how they deal with this.

Thanks for any help
