Re: [Zope] mailhosts and mail server speed

It's the call to mailhost.send() which is slow. I'd love to know why :S

How much influence does the the mail server speed have to this? How can I measure it? ;-)

Set up Sendmail on localhost and see if the problem goes away.

localhost is a windows NT workstation ;-)

Sendmail (and most other mail servers) will queue the mail without holding up the connection. I don't know about you, but I get instantaneous mail processing this way.

Hmm, I think our mailserver, which I was using for this, does a DNS check on the domain names to make sure they exist. I wonder if this is what is causing the slowness of the response? cheers, Chris
