Improving Performance

In order to improve the performance of some e-mail services the wait for replay period has been made configurable through a Windows Registry setting. This was necessary because some services are slower to reply than they should be. If you encounter this condition for SMTP you can add the following setting into the Registry:

 

[AWXMMX64\MMXMail]

TimeOut=0

UseLocalIP=0

DefinedIPServer=12.15.133.9

These settings are part of MMXmailSMTP.EXE
