The issue we were discussing was not the use of a single TSmtpCli which is clearly unsuitable for all but the most simple mail servers, but whether you should be using threads with multiple TSmtpCli components (or most other ICS components for that matter). I have an application that captures data on 400 TWSockets simultaneously, in a single thread. As was said, two or more threads are beneficial where there are multiple processors available to the application and you can hog the entire server, or where you really are handling thousands of simultaneous connections.
