Re: Performance of SNDDST vs QtmmSendMail

["Patrick Townsend" <patownsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For this kind of volume you should check out a commercial product like
ROI/Net400's NetSend (partner company). You can set up as many outbound
processes as you like to send mail. But I suspect that the mail server you
are using may be a bottleneck. What mail server will you be using? Are you
certain it can handle this type of volume?
