Marcia,

Thanks so much! I do have a copy of MegaFox so I'll take a look. wwIPStuff had been meeting our needs very well so I guess I never took a look at the chapter on emailing.

Thanks again!

Many smtp servers don't like a high number of connections in a short period of time. wwIPStuff allowed us to get around this by creating a Handle that maintains the connection with the server so multiple emails can be sent through one connection. Can the same be done via CDOSys?

The class has a couple of minor bugs in it - if you use it as a basis for your class, you need to delete all the attachments before you process each message.
