Robert,
Can the output to IMail be 'throttled'? If you can control the rate of
output such that IMail never has more than the 'MaxQueProc' number of SMTP32
(delivery) processes, then you will get the greatest throughput. When you
put 2000 files into the queue in one short time, IMail can only handle
'MazQueProc' number of them before it cannot start anymore SMTP32s. So, the
queue will only get reduced by that number. Now if there are more coming in
(new mail has prority over that in the queue) and free SMTP32 processes,
then that mail will get handled, next. If there are no free SMTP32s, then
that message remains in que and others there cannot be tried.
If you used Len's figures as a start, for the delivery rate, you probably
will see pretty good results.
