comment Origin of different styles of ID numbers for recurring Calendar events
Ooh, I see. So, basically, until it gets modified, it'll be the timestamp of the recurrence, but once it gets modified, it then gets treated as its own ID (32, in this case), and it consequently uses a notice of the root (3) instead of the timestamp. This is enlightening. Makes it a pain to try and figure how best to avoid links breaking, but definitely a step forward. Thank you much!

comment Cannot send emails through SMTP using a Timer Job?
Wasn't directly the cause of my specific issue, but farm account permissions were indeed at the root of it. The login should've been fine, but my development server wasn't allowed to properly access the mail server like the production server does. Something in the services for workflows gets around this issue, but the Timer service did not get affected. Once we incorporated proper access for the dev server, it worked! Thank you much.

comment Cannot send emails through SMTP using a Timer Job?
The value for "Log On As" for the "Windows SharePoint Services Timer" service, which I assume will be my WSS 3.0 equivalent of your SP 2010 Timer, is the System Account. So it should have permissions on the mail server on the same bound that it does for the Workflows.

comment Cannot send emails through SMTP using a Timer Job?
Where would I go about confirming the farm account's identity (I'm in charge of object model work, not so much the farm topology)? I'm under the impression that the Farm Account is the same as the System Account under which Workflows are run under, as well as SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges, but if this is what is probably tripping me up, I should investigate.

I apparently have a strong tendency to fall asleep halfway through a sentence. This is twice...

comment Develop a timer job that operates only on selected site collections
This worked like a charm. I'm able to activate and deactivate the feature on different site collections, and the timer job flawlessly adapts to it. Thank you much! ♪

This is how the one-on-all workflow would function, yes.

comment Multiple workflows across a list versus one workflow iterating the list
15 maximum before postponing... interesting. I see that there are indeed some important concerns for choosing between the two, and the complexity of processing. Thank you much, this should help me write this up proper! I'll still see about trying what I can to use timer jobs instead, but I got the kind of answer I was truly looking for.
