If mail() is faster, prepare for the second coming... :-) mail() fires up the send mail binary. For each call. SMTP opens up a socket connection and then you just keep spewing data at it and getting "OK" back (hopefully). You'd have to have a dog-slow SMTP box and a very souped-up sendmail box to get them on the same footing, almost for sure. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
