No need to use SMTP then. You should just be calling sendmail to drop the emails into the queue. And that should not be slowing down. > Mail is sent via PHPMailer.

Just generate a script with 10000 calls to the mail() function (send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with NNNNN = random number). If that goes through without slowing down, mail() and your sendmail daemon are not to blame. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
