Re: (ASCEND) NAT... E-mail
I would think that it is more likely that the SMTP server you are using is
doing a DNS lookup to find the site it is sending mail to. It is often
possible to tell the client software not to wait for the DNS lookup to be
done. The way to test this is to send two emails in quick succession. The
second time should be much quicker, as the DNS entry will be cached.
Cheers,
Joel
