>Sorry, I couldn't resist. You are in Wales, right, west of Hereford? I saw a clip on BBC on how bad the weather's been in Wales. I have an aunt living in Leominster.

Leominster's only about 15 miles away.
Snow was not as bad as forecast - it never is :-}
We got about 4" which looks set to hand around for a few days.
Have to use a 4WD for any shopping.

>I had found someone saying that there was a limit between 100 and 150 which fits in with what I am seeing. I'll look for an easily configurable smtp server and try it out as the aysnchronous call is causing problems with saving the data after the emails have been sent.

Are you saving data related to each email or copies of the emails ?
Out of interest how long did it take to email the 200+ that you mentioned ?
