Thread Sleep in Classic ASP?

I'm doing some revision on an old app that is written in classic ASP/VbScript.

It has a feature to send out an e-mail to the members of the application, but because the member list is quite large, the server rejects new e-mails after the first hundred or so are sent.

I've written some code to make it send out e-mails in burst of 20, but this still doesn't work. I think that perhaps making it sleep for a second between burst might work properly.

However, I can't seem to find a Thread.Sleep type method in VbScript.

Is there one?

Solution

  • Not to my knowledge. You'll have to use some external code written in class VB or whatever to do it.

    Or busy-wait (gak).
