That is indeed what todays is the limiting factor of MTA's performance. Pretty much everyone runs some sort of filters, checks RBLs, and so on, which end up limiting performance far more than thread pooling and connection caching. Unless you use an MTA which run no filter, which perform no DNS resolution, which does no RDNS checks,, which checks no RBLs, and so on. - Davide _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
