sent. i was planning on doing this from python with either calls to the mailhost or smtplib.

MailHost uses smptlib now, IIRC 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? ;-) cheers, Chris
