>I recently began using Imail to send out SMS text messages to large groups
>of pagers. The pagers are accessed via device email address, all of them
>pagenet.net. I'm addressing the mass email to myself and BCCing the pagers
>at 250 addresses per email.
>
>Queuing happens quickly enough, only takes about 17 seconds for 1000
>addresses. The problem is that the emails just sit there...doing nothing
>for anywhere from 1 to 3 hours! After the lag time they send just fine.
>
>I'd suspect pagenet's end, but I could find no connection attempts or
>rejections to pagenet in the logs between the queuing and the sending an
>hour later. As far troubleshooting goes, I've increased available SMTP
>connections, shortened the queue timer to 10 minutes, and tried sending to
>more and fewer addresses per email. Below I've included part of the log
>from one attempt (I realize line length will screw up the formatting of the
>log clip, sorry).
>
>Anyone have any idea what causes this lag time?
