RE: QTMMSENDMAIL performance

I'll have a look at this.  I've set up a little program to blast out a bunch
of little e-mail's and I should be able to set what happens when the
system's pushed.

Thanks,
Reeve

To help diagnose the bottleneck, you might use the WRKTCPSTS OPTION(*CNN)
screen to show the status of the Mail Server Framework job as it tries to
connect to the remote Email server and transmit the message.

A new entry will be added to the bottom of the list for the message being
sent.  If it takes a long time before an entry even shows up, then the
problem may be in DNS name resolution which is outside the control of MSF.

You can use F11 to display the bytes transmitted.  Use the F5 key to refresh
the display.  When the job is done, the Email entry will be removed from the
list.  It should give you an indication of how much time is spent sending
the message.

Sometimes the remote mail server is the bottleneck.  It simply may be
overburdened.  The iSeries may spend most of it's time waiting for a remote
connection, or to receive acknowledgements from the remote mail server.
