Sounds like your problem is the speed of your upload to the Internet. Check out http://www.pcpitstop.com. On left side of the main page you will find a link for "internet connection." Run the upload test. I was with a company that had a t-1 frame. Average upload was 800 k Bits/sec., sometimes as low as 70 kbs, since frame is shared. 800 kbs = 100 K Bytes/sec. If you IMS post machine is the only computer on the connection, (remember ethernet is shared as well) and you are sending a 10 k Byte email, that equals 100 / 10 = 10 email per sec. or 600 per minute. Is doesn't matter what the hardware is on your machine if you're trying to push more than your circuit will allow.   Regards......(-:     ----- Original Message ----- From: Yossi Mills To: inFusion Support List Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 1:23 PM Subject: [iMS] Thrashing iMS Hi.. I'm running iMS into the ground here, getting no more than 700 messages out per minute (1300 without logging).  I've tried varying numbers of threads, but don't seem to get any huge difference in results between 128 and 1024.  I'm running a dual-processor machine, with 2GB RAM, and sending tiny messages...  Any idea if I can get faster throughput than this? NOTE: I've tried using a RAM drive - this speeds me up by about 20%, but I'm aiming for 7000+/minute.  Is this unreasonable?
