Profile. Don't speculate. Your experience with serial mailers does not apply to programs handling several jobs at once. In a test at the high end---sending a message to 10 recipients at AOL--- parallel connections were nearly twice as fast as a serial connection. In a test at the low end---sending a message to 10 recipients at a poorly connected host in Taiwan---parallel connections all succeeded within two days. With serial connections, the mail NEVER GOT THROUGH. ---Dan Put an end to unauthorized mail relaying. http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html
