I have been using a cfmail tag for a year with no problems.
The size of my mailing list has grown, that I now get this error below

The request has exceeded the allowable limit
TAG:cfmail

Any suggestions?

Hi

Try adding timeout to your cfmail tag.
something like this...
<cfmail to="whoever" subject="whatever" from="someine" type="html" timeout="999999999">.

Unfortunately this did not work.

I made the timeout 5000..problem still exists

I wrote 2 separate queries and I still get a timeout error.
I send 1500 in the first query batch and 2000 in the second query
batch....problem still exists.

Any Help...server settings?

add <cfsetting requesttimeout="600"> (which equals to 10 min) at the top
of your page instead.

the timeout attribute of cfmail tag only controls how long to wait
before timing out connection to SMTP server.
