How fast should 'send b??

 [1/10] from: robert::lancaster::opennw::com at: 5-Jul-2001 14:20


Sending Email, using 'send, can take some time... eg
>> print now send [to--myself--my--company] "hello:" print now
5-Jul-2001/14:01:50+12:00 5-Jul-2001/14:02:10+12:00 == 20 secs Is this slowness REBOL? ( Thinks... Not... ) Or is it cos I'm on a coporate LAN using an MS Exchange Mail server. Seeing as I'm not familiar with SMTP I thought I'd ask the list; How long should it take?

Should be much quicker than 20 seconds. I use a script that makes a doc and e-mail it to myself and the times would be less than 1 second. Regards, Greg

Hi Robert On my 100mbps LAN using a standard pop/smtp server and win98, I get:
>> print now send [larry--ecotope--com] "hello:" print now
4-Jul-2001/20:34:55-7:00 4-Jul-2001/20:34:56-7:00 So about 1 second to do the send. Looks like Exchange is a little slow. -Larry

Sydney ISP, US Server. First attempt. 5-Jul-2001/13:35:36+10:00 5-Jul-2001/13:35:38+10:00 Second attempt using now/precise
>> t0: now/precise send system/user/email "hello:" print now/precise/time -
t0/time 0:00:05.698 Third attempt
>> t0: now/precise send system/user/email "hello:" print now/precise/time -
t0/time 0:00:05.347 Probably your server. :) Should be fast on a lan, though depends on how busy your server is. Brett.

Excuse me, but Exchange is not a little bit slow - Exchange is pig, it's overkill, it wants fast enough hw and our large corporation is back to Linux ... -pekr-

Thanks all. I'd always thought there was something dodgy about our email...

Hi Robert, I am not at work now .... but when I use Rebol with out exchange server there it does take roughly the same time (10-20 seconds). :-( Anyone know how to revceve mail from a MS exchange server?

there it does take roughly the same time (10-20 seconds). :-( The truth is - there is no reason why it should be so slow. I encountered significant slowdown, once our admins did some change to the net, and both rebol and netscape were so slow. Then I found out, that Rebol as well as Netscape are trying to use proxy server to find it's way to pop account. The solution was to bypass proxy server: system/schemes/default/proxy/bypass: ["your.smtp.server.here"] or maybe separately for smtp: system/schemes/smtp/proxy/bypass: ["your.smtp.server.here"] you can also try to trace your network activity by setting: trace/net: true .. maybe it will help ... -pekr-

I use the IMAP scheme in REBOL. (as work doesn't run a POP server, so I gues I'm still using MS Echange in some form.) REBOLs IMAP scheme is fairly easy to use. However I'm not sure it covers all the proper IMAP commands.. ( ie use Mail Folder XXX (??), send mail etc...) However I base this assumption on using REBOLs IMAP about four times and having a tiny glimpse of an "Introduction to IMAP" book I saw for a split second somewhere last week while running through a book shop.... Any one know better??? P.S Long live One Based Indexing!!! <HE he he he he ha he ho. Now (laughs weakly).... back to C >

REBOL's IMAP implementation supports the majority of features defined in RFC 2192 (imap:// URL standard). There were some very slight deviations, as the result of trying to stay compatible with the existing pop:// scheme. Among the supported features are searches and mailbox selection. To select a mailbox use something like p: open imap://user:[pass--server]/mailbox Depending on the file organization on the server "mailbox" may have to be specified as a file path relative to some directory (typically the user's home directory). For instance in order to access a mail folder on my Unix box I have to use p: open imap://user:[pass--server]/Mail/mailbox instead, because all mail folders are located in ~/Mail. Windows-based IMAP servers may be different. The FULL IMAP standard goes far beyond what is specified for access through URLs though. Those additional features are not supported by REBOL or other environments which access IMAP through URLs. You would lower-level access for that. Same situation as with ftp:// vs. the full FTP protocol. AFAIK sending mail is not supported by IMAP at all though. You need SMTP for that. -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]
