Hi All,
I'm still looking at this problem, and would like to hear any suggestion.
We are using Broadbase EMA to generate bulk emails (to our subscribers and
opt-in), and deliver them through iMail. Our iMail runs at slow speed in
terms of number of deliveries/hr.
Here is the some observation. EMA Sent 40K to iMail. In short time, I did
see files accumulate in Queue and 30 SMTPs up running(see them from Task
manager) for a while, then the number of SMTPs reduced to 4 or 5.
5 hrs later, I still saw 20K+ in Queue. Most of them had retries = 0. I
thought after 5 hrs, only failed emails left there with retries > 0 and <=5.
SMTP config: QueueTime -- 20 mins, retries -- 5
Any thought,
Thanks!!!

Subject: [IMail Forum] how fast it should be
I didn't see it showed up in list, so I'm sending it again. Sorry if it's
duplicate.
We experienced low delivery speed. I'm looking for reason.
We sent out about 3400 emails (we sent same message to 3400 recipients) with
size of 5K.
The last successful delivery (I can only judge it by status=1) is 3hr 40min
away from the first delivery.
SMTP config: QueueTime -- 20 mins, retries -- 5
I didn't see MaxQueProc in registry, that means we use 30 default SMTP
processes.
Machine runs Imail:
4 CPU PIII 550Mhz
2G memory
We use Imail 6.0 purely for email campaign even though most of imail
services are up. So, it has no active user accounts or handling incoming
emails. Basically, we are only use it as a SMTP server.
As you can guess that the CPU/memory usage is low (average less that 10%).
Any thought?
Thanks,
-Hui
