Question. Has mail server software been upgraded between last email
run and this one?
With new changes in spam blocking there might be a situation where
the mail server is checking the authenticity of the smtp coming in
(Witango). you might need to add local host ip to the admin to have
it not check emails coming from internal ip, so the mail server
doesn't spend time checking like reverse DNS on each smtp connection.
Just some thoughts,

I have a simple taf that loops through a database of my customers and

This is a fairly straight-forward taf, builds a table, loops through the
table extracting e-mail address and name, then sends the mail. I've
been
using this for a couple of years. I typically have to increase the
server
timeout when I do this, and recently have been breaking the mailing into
1000 record increments.
Last night when I ran this, I couldn't get hardly any throughput.
Witango
would release a record to the mailserver about every 12-15 seconds.
Normally it sends records to the mailserver just as fast as it can.
Also no
other mail usually gets through until the job is done. But now, I
see other
mail being processed in between the mail coming from Witango.
I don't recall any changes (famous last words, I know...) and I'd
love to
fix the blame on the mail server, but I can see the records coming to
it...
ever so slowly.
Any ideas on what might cause this throttling of records to the mail
server?
The mail server and witango are on the same box; not good I know, but I
don't have lots of volume or other users hitting it. Oh, yeah, I
took the
database completely out of the equation. Now all I have is a loop that
calls the mail action. Loops from 1 to 30 sending out a blank
text-formatted e-Mail. Still takes 12-15 seconds to release each
record to
the mailserver. Mail Server is Mercury/32 if that matters. No changes
there either.
Any ideas at all would be a help.
Thanks,
Tom Ferguson
