need to slow mass email sending in coldfusion 4.5

Question

I'm running CF Server 4.510 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard SP 2.

One of our list serve applications on this server sends out a large amount of emails, prompting an excessive out-queue length alert from Barracuda. What I'm looking to do is throttle these emails so as to not send out this alert and bog down the server.

@Busches not a good idea, memory will not be released if the request does not end (for CF) — Henry, May 03 '13 at 17:30
@henry easily do a cflocation to the same page to keep the request from running forever — Busches, May 04 '13 at 02:40
@Bushches so you need some browser to make that work? Doesn't seem practical. cfhttp might work though, but I'd still prefer cfschedule — Henry, May 04 '13 at 06:37

Log the email required to be sent in DB.

Use cfschedule, fetch X number of email's at a time and send them.
