Re: [IMail Forum] anyway to slow MS SMTP

I just don't want a big spike since we pay for "average" used. Kevin Bilbee wrote: Not if you throttle the number of connections. If you throttle the number of connections the concurrent bandwidth consumption will be lesser. The bandwidth over time will be the same as without throttling. The advantage to throttling is if your connection can not handle the concurrent connections the the mail will more than likley be sent faster with less overall band width consumption.

Perhaps I don't understand your use of "bandwidth". He meant relative to other application protocols for any point in time, not the aggregate bandwidth used until queues are exhausted. Throttling the number of simultaneous SMTP connections will decrease the amount of point-in-time competition for bandwidth. Of course, you are right that a given message volume will always consume the same amount of bandwidth in toto. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/downlo ad/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/downloa d/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/ release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
