That's correct; standard E-mails will get sent to the queue (and therefore typically delayed at least 1/2 hour) if all your outgoing SMTP processes are being used (which often happens with a mailing list). http://www.declude.com/dq.htm explains the situation in detail. >I want to know if it is possible to handle the queue for the list to be >sent later, I mean, with a lower priority. Our Declude Queue will better handle the situation. It works by giving highest priority to any E-mail where delivery hasn't been attempted yet, and will use up free processes as soon as they are available. So instead of the standard (non-list) E-mail getting delivered in about 1/2 hour or later (as it is now), or a few seconds (as it would if it had full priority and could be sent immediately), Declude Queue might get it out within a few minutes. It can also speed up delivery of the E-mails on that list quite a bit. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
