» Feature Writer Guy Lecky-Thompson - MIME::LITE hangs

In response to MIME::LITE hangs posted by estematt:


Hello,

My understanding of MIME::Lite is that it invokes sendmail as a new process and gets it to send the mail on. This relies so much on other aspects of the system that it is no surprise that it is slow.

A much better strategy is to directly put the message on the local mail server queue, using Mail::sendmail, rather than the default behavior of MIME::Lite which spawns a new sendmail instance which startup and shutdown is what is probably causing your problem.

I'd like to know how it pans out.

Regards,
Guy
