thanks for this, the value was 20, which I indeed change to 1, and it 
sped the process up no-end.... thanks !!!

I don't understanf the difference between sending direct and 'through 
the gateway' though !

One last question - what effect would changing the wait value to 0 
have ???

Thanks for the help, now I don't have to dread sending huge emails...

ATb.
