I have a ASP page that sends out an email to 3 people when a order is placed. The first email takes 3.42 seconds to send, second email takes 0.72 seconds to send and the third takes 0.72 seconds. Is 0.70 seconds to long? And I am needing to also find out why the first email takes so long. In the ASP code I am telling it to use a internal IP address of the mail server (10.0.0.9) so its not having to go outside the firewall or anything else to slow it down. Any ideas?
