You should definitely be able to get quite a bit more than that out. Are you sending
the E-mail to a gateway, which then takes care of delivery? Have you checked the logs
to see if there are any errors? Are there lots of E-mails where multiple delivery
attempts have been made (for example, if you are sending lots of E-mail to one or two
domains that have mail servers that are often down)? Are most of these E-mails from
mailing lists, or single E-mails? Do you always have a lot of smtp32.exe processes in
the Task Manager?
The only setting that I'm aware of to speed up outgoing E-mail is a registry hack that
allows you to increase the number of SMTP processes. However, using the default, I
would think that you should be able to do more than 5,000 to 8,000 per hour.
