Hy!
We are using this forum very successfully but have one problem. We have
over a 1000 users who have requested email notification. So, every time
somebody posts a post it takes more than a minute to send all mails and
to display a message that the post has been posted. We are using
CDONTS. We also tried with CDOSYS (as is suggested in one of the posts
on your forum: http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=7750&KW=slow+post+reply - 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. Do
you know any other web forums with such amount of requested email
notification and how they deal with this.
Thanks for any help

The speed at which emails are sent always depends on the speed on your
mail server, a 'localhost' one like CDONTS uses will always be faster
as 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 are
kept in the table tblEmailNotify in the database and that maybe it
might be worth deleting all entries in this table and if people do want
to re-subscribe to email notifications they can do.
However, most of the time people only subscribe to a particular topic
which is why it seems strange that a 1000 emails are sent each time a
post is made, unless for some strange reason all your members are
requesting email notification to all posts in that forum.
Having 1000 emails sent each time someone posts must also be a big
strain on the server, so I would recommend trying to cut this amount.

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 email
notification. The complition window appears write after the post is
saved and not after all emails are sent.

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 web
browser.
