________________________________

Good day,

When we try to send out an announcement to 15000 students with 3 attachments we get the error below?
Has anyone else experienced something similar with announcements?
We have googled and see that it is VM that is not enough and that we might have a memory leak?
When we send announcements to smaller groups (with attachments) of students there is no error.

We would appreciate your input on whether we must increase our VM memory or if you think there might be a problem with the way threads are opened and closed?

Thanking you in advance.
Regards
Sonette
