Re: Performance of SNDDST vs QtmmSendMail

Interesting question.  Impressive volume.  This would certainly take some
volume testing.  And then you'd have to ensure that your version of
QtmmSendMail was optimized for speed.  Meaning if you're just calling a
utility, (not knocking anyone here, really), like SNDEMAIL, then this may
not be optimized for your situation.  Then who would want a flood of emails
in a test?  Let's see, if there was a 1 second difference between 20
SNDDST's and 20 QtmmSendMail's then (30,000 / 20) =1,500 seconds per hour
or 25 minutes per hour difference in your volume.  I see your dillemma
here.  Sorry, but I don't have the time right now to code a time trial.

At my current job there are emails that need to be sent to the internet
from
CL and RPG programs (mostly CL's right now) and these emails can have a
frequency of 30,000 per hour (sometimes more).  Which method of sending
will
be quicker (less overhead on the AS/400) - SNDDST or QtmmSendMail?  Some of

the emails are custom written and some are system generated 'Generic'
letters.

Currently this is being (mis)handled by SNDNETSPLF commands....which causes

the 720 to slow down considerably.  None of the emails are MIME format -
they are just TXT files kept in a folder.  This may be a future requirement

(to use MIME or html docs) however.

Thanks for any and all advice.
