- Smtpfeed no longer depends on mail/sendmail. It works well with sendmail 8.12. If you use 8.11.X, you'll need sendmail WIDE patch. - There seems to be no official WWW page.

SMTP feed -- SMTP Fast Exploding External Deliverer for Sendmail
|
|
|
|
Smtpfeed is a SMTP delivery agent which is called by sendmail, and it
|
|
improves required time to complete delivery of copies of a message to
|
|
recipients of huge number.
|
|
|
|
This delay of delivery by sendmail causes by the fact that implementation
|
|
of SMTP delivery routine in sendmail processes all delivery in a series.
|
|
By this reason, when it takes long time for delivery to one recipient
|
|
which is in a huge list, delivery to following recipients is greatly
|
|
influenced.
|
|
|
|
To avoid such a problem, delivery agents should be implemented so that
|
|
a delivery is not influenced by preceding delivery: DNS query and
|
|
SMTP delivery par destination should be processed in parallel.
|
|
Smtpfeed is the SMTP delivery agent for sendmail implemented with this
|
|
idea.
