This is a good idea that we had not thought of. (Although we did think
about making our own smtp (outbound) server in perl at one point).

The email issue is on the back burner at the moment - byt we the techies
feel the need to redo everything so that we have a scalable solution.
Following on from other posts I had come to a similar idea as this - i.e
scaling the SMTP servers (or in this manner qmtp servers). We are also
thinking about scalinging at the other end - i.e having mutiple servers
running the script. If we ever get round to that I drop everyone a line
here.
Thanks
