Well, an Email Service Provider could very well have ten or more servers! If I were earning money for getting mail out quickly, putting more servers on the job would definitely be a high priority! On the other hand, it does stand to reason that any general-purpose mailer can be surpassed by an equally well-written program designed to deliver a single message to a pre-compiled list of addresses, just ticking off successful deliveries. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
