Pages times out regardless of settings

[Sean S - Perth, WA]

Hi all,

I've written a page that uses a emailer component and it keeps timing out.
It takes 2-3 seconds to send each mail, gets part way through the list of
recipients and dies.

I have tried changing the Script Timeout setting in IIS to some huge number
(2147483647?).

I have tried setting Server.ScriptTimeout = 0 and Server.ScriptTimeout =
2147483647.

None of these make any difference. What can I do now?

"part way through the list" -- how many?

I've had it die after about thirty because of a Web host
configured limit (I believe) to minimize potential spam.

Anywhere between 20 and 50.

It's a private develpment server. This is not an issue.

define 'just dies'. You're not getting a script timeout message? Do you
have an On Error Resume Next line somewhere in the code?
Which email component? OS?

OK, fixed it. It looks like IIS just required a restart to pick up the change
to the Script Timeout setting.
