Well, here's the text generated by the program as the e-mail (and into the
joblog). Notice in the outgoing text that it went at 21:50:53, but I didn't
receive it until 21:59. And, by the way, my e-mail client is set to
automatically send/receive every 1 minute. You'd think I should have gotten
it within 2 minutes, no?

Subject: RE: emails sent with QtmmSendMail API take > 5 minutes to arrive
Hi, Tom:
With regard to your delay time, that may not be unexpected, especially when
internet is involved. So many factors. If you provide more information
about the architecture(s) of the message(s) in question, perhaps we can
help. Also, have a look at the headers on the received mail; they will
indicate the point at which delays occur.
Finally, can you elaborate on the meaning of this?
Also, the joblog on the task that sends the e-mails (using the API)
includes every statement in the outgoing e-mails,
In this context, what does "every statement in the outgoing e-mails" mean?

I talk to myself at work because nobody else here understands me.
We're using the QtmmSendMail API to send e-mails. However, it can
take more than 5 minutes before they arrive at their destination.
What I don't know about e-mail could fill volumes, but I'm hoping
maybe it's just some configuration setting on the SMTP server on my
IBM i.
Also, the joblog on the task that sends the e-mails (using the API)
includes every statement in the outgoing e-mails, thus filling the
joblog quickly when it's allowed to run for any decent length of time.
Can this be controlled or limited, or should I just plan on ending the
task regularly?
