I have an internal app that builds emails from CRM database results,
writes them to disk, then another app scans this folder and sends
them... the whole process takes forever.

Would it go faster if I wrote the message write to the queue ( or drop )
folder of IIS SMTP?

I got throughput of 10,000 emails in 3 minutes using IIS SMTP on a P166 128MB system by writing directly to the "C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup" folder with a VB program. The SMTP Server was configured to attempt direct delivery and then use a smart host.

The prefered way (I've never had any performace issues) is to use the objects described in MSKB Article "312839" located at <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;312839">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;312839</a>.

Regards,
Brad

Thanks Brad, I'll have a look at that now... any info on what the emails
should look like that are written to the DROP folder?

Sorry, I meant the PICKUP folder, not DROP. I know they have to be .eml
-- but how do I create that? :)
