The SMTP component I use to email from within a thread recommends using the 'Blocking' transmission method for sending if used from within threads to reduce resource usage. The downsize is that transmission timeouts are no longer handled (effectively freezing a particular thread). The component help suggests writing my own code to handle timeouts but I'm not sure exactly how to do this, ant suggestions would be appreciated?
