Pablo -- ..and then Pablo Gosse said... % % Hi all. I'm curious as to the performance difference between scripts % that use sendmail vs. smtp for their mailing abilities. Using sendmail will almost always be very very much faster because - you're talking to the local machine - you're offloading the mail process to something else and so if you can do so -- even if your machine is only set up with a "dumb" mailer that only knows how to talk to your U's smarthost -- I would recommend that you run, not walk, to do so :-) HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
