OK Great. That is what I thought.
I have been using a sweet little mail server called DMail (sweet so far
at least) for our outgoing smtp this past week (for our Newsletter which
right now is only blasting 6000 at a time). You might know this company
from their product: DNews.
It performed incredibly last week, sending out 5500 in about 30 minutes,
and this was with the basic configuration. I was given the settings for
maximum perf in this scenario which I will be trying this week.
The server runs on most OS windows, linux, unix, and I think even Mac,
and the best part is that it is free in this situation.
I will let you all know how it goes. Hopefully it will allow us to
offload this process from IMAIL and minimize our IMAIL related
headaches.

not expected or welcome, but it is widely reported here that Imail will
often not deliver at full throttle when confronted with a big list spike
or
big queue buildup.

10 to 20 second is doable with other mail engines.

yes, 30k to 60K / hour is acheivable, but not with Imail reliably. As
John
said, his requirements were very lightweight so he�s happy with the
results.
