looks like a bit of a tough one :-) guess you might be better off trying one of the qmail groups instead of this one. Sorry my own qmail expertise isn't as good as it should be.

Yep. Nope.

Yep.

My message generation runs through about 800 messages in a bit under three seconds. While that may or may not be fantastic or efficient, it's a couple of orders of magnitude faster than the mail injection :-)

Actually, this has always been a CLI script. Those interested can see it at

as long as you promise not to laugh at all of the debugging and other crap that's in there at the moment :-)
I've managed to pin it down to the qmail injection process, though I haven't gotten farther enough to know whether it's a qmail config issue or an overall OS issue. It isn't php's fault :-) Using mail() takes an extra 70ms over just a system call to qmail-inject directly, so I'll stick with the latter, but a drop from ~0.54 sec to ~0.47 sec isn't nearly as far as I need to go (I need total time to be about 100ms at the most and would love to see 60 *total* so that I can get out some 60k messages in an hour).

Heh :-)
