Maybe I missed this, but Is it possible to have Queued email with the
MailMessage object?

In Classic ASP, I've used ASPQueueMail (serverobjects.com)
which is a regular COM object. I need to send up to twenty separate emails
on a single page and they are quite time consuming to do synchronously,
making the page
slow to perform. I'd like to dump them into a queue and have the IIS SMTP
server take care of them at its leisure. I notice that the SMTP server has
a queue file but I'm not sure how to use it.

Another alternative is to use a separate app which does nothing but send
emails -I've built one of these in C#, but I'd like something simpler for
this app. A final alternative
is to take the ASPQueueMail object and put an RCW around it.

Any ideas for using the MailMessage object itself?

thanks,

Steve Shier

IIRC, the IIS SMTP service will automatically queue messages if it can't
send them immediately. You shouldn't need to worry about anything other
than setting the mail fields and the mail server, and calling Send.

Thanks Andrew.
The problem is that queueing an email takes time for the initial attempt-it
behaves synchronously.

As it turns out I've since been able to put the aspqmail component in an RCW
and it works great because it returns immediately from putting the email on
queue. I can send 3 emails and display a long page with a big trace in it
in 0.3 seconds. With the MailMessage component this was taking in excess of
2.0 seconds.
