Look in the KB, for a registry hack to increase the number of SMTP
processes, but of course each takes memory when loaded simultaneously
so see if you have free memory to accept to increased number of SMPT
delivery clients
2000 is not that many messages, "should" leave in well under 10
minutes (if the destinations are available).
2000 / 10 =
20 / minute =
1 msg / 3 seconds.
If you had 30 SMTP processes in memory, that's 30 msgs every 3
seconds, call it every 10 seconds. So
30 SMTP processes x 6 msgs minutes = 180 msgs/min => 1800 msgs / 10 minutes
That's actually pretty lazy delivery with the "default" SMTP max of 30.
If you repeat this effort several times/day, then having Imail point
at a large-memroy caching DNS would speed up list deliveries by
speeding DNS lookups from cache rather than going all the way to
authoritative DNS's.
