texte = I thought it could be interesting for all of you to know exactly how the = mail system works with WebDNA: WebDNA writes the mail to be sent in /EMailFolder. There is only 1 = thread sending email unless someone has sandboxing turned on (version = 6.2). The email thread sleeps for X ticks, then wakes up, runs through = the EMailFolder, processes one single acceptable mail by forwarding it = to a SMTP server, adds a log entry in /EMailLog and moves the mail to = /EMailCompleted, then sleeps for X ticks, and repeats. Acceptable means that the filename ends in the word "done". Processing the mail means the mail is sent through port 25 to either a = localhost SMTP server or an external one. It will only process one email file for each sleep/wake cycle. So if the = main thread starts to write a new email file while the email thread is = in the middle of a waking cycle, it does not matter. It will be ignored = until the main thread renames it to end in "done", at which point the = email thread will consider it during the next wake cycle. - chris=
