Re: [Zope] sending mail slow?

Hi,

I've noticed that sending mail from within Zope the <sendmail> tab or mailhost.send() is very slow (like it adds a few seconds to the time it takes to get a page back from a post).

Why is that? how can I make it faster?

I'd thought about having the actual mail sending done in a different thread/process but I don't know how I'd do that or whether it'd be worth doing. I wonder where the slowness is coming from :S

i was think about this in regard to doing bulk email, the best i could think of was to response.write and than send the email. no real confirmation but the user gets the page and the mail hopefully gets sent. i was planning on doing this from python with either calls to the mailhost or smtplib.
