As a baseline, we get about 2Mill email attempts per month. I implemented months ago and slowly increased the pause up to 1250 ms. I wanted to avoid any false positives (I have had none) and found that any further increase in the pause doesn't substantially increase the amount of rejections. We hit about 125,000-150,000 rejections due to the pause, per month. It can be controlled in the access DB as such: GreetPause:127.0.0.1 0 GreetPause:10 0 The above two lines provide no pause for localhost or anything on 10/8. Matt -- Matthew S.
