Hi All I have written a small app which, having identified a certain condition needs to get an email into a particular mailbox as quickly as possible. The email is simple plain text of only about 550 characters.
The app is running on a dedicated, hosted server so I'm content that its internet connection is as fast as economically possible. I'm doing a DNS resolution to get the IP address of the preferred SMTP server at the destination domain. I use the Indy TIdSMTP component (Indy 9) and I have code in place which ensures that it remains connected to that SMTP server ready for when I need it. It's taking about 150ms on average for the call to Send() to return. I realise that the Indy newsgroups are the place for guidance on best use of their components but what I'm wondering is if anyone can recommend a faster alternative method of delivering an email? Maybe 150mS is as fast as I can hope for? I guess I could just use a socket and do what the Indy component does but I doubt (I know!) I couldn't do a better job than the Indy team. Am I missing a trick here, is there an alternative method or an alternative component that will get the job email delivered quicker? TIA Dave. ----------------------------------------------------- Home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/delphi-en/ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
