I have looked through my account log and actually found a recent sent message which waited exactly 15 seconds after connecting to the SMTP server before going out. However this is not consistent, another message completed in two seconds, and in another case a batch of 13 almost identical messages of about 5.1 kilobytes each went out in a total of 47 seconds. I would usually assume this kind of variation is due to the loading on the server, which of course can vary from moment to moment. Have you done any receive tests yet? -- Best regards, Roger :flag-SouthAfrica: The Bat! v4.2.13.4 ALPHA (Home) POP3 , on Windows XP, version 5 1, build 2600 and Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
