Re: SMTP Slow as snot...

Good point on the amount of TCP Connections in and out, I will try this and see if it improves.

I suspect your biggest problem is retrying every 3 minutes. Make it at least a half an hour! Here is a direct quote from the SIMS docs:

If you use the Directly to Recipients method, then when a connection to some remote host (domain) fails, all messages directed to that domain will be suspended for the specified time. Usually, SMTP systems suspend messages for 30 minutes.

I have my box set to:
Sending TCP/IP Channels: 25
Retry Every: 1 hour
Retry: 50 times
Receiving TCP/IP Channels: 25

I get the same results, if I have 3 minutes or 1 hour.

Why are you set to 10 connections?  Is your server on dialup?

For the record my settings are 100/2 hours/100 retries
