Waiting for mail to send can be time consuming. It's not exactly what you are looking for but what I have done is to set up a minimal MTA on my workstation, listening only on loopback. Sending an e-mail to that (including TLS, which is turned on by default in my case) takes 1-2 seconds, and from that point on it becomes the responsibility of the MTA to pass it on to my smarthost, which is done in the background. This has the added benefit that if the initial connection attempt fails for some reason (has happened a few times in the past) I don't have to wait for $connect_timeout before I can even make another attempt. That, too, becomes the responsibility of the local MTA. -- Michael Kjörling .. michael@xxxxxxxxxxx .. http://michael.kjorling.se * .....
