K, jcwren and merlyn, does Net::SMTP send mail like sendmail or retrieve mail from POP accounts and manage an e-mail server??
Just reading jcwren's post and looking at Net::SMTP's perldoc, it looks for like Net::SMTP is used to actually manage an e-mail server.

And in this thing that sendmail immediately sends e-mail, could the real reason it takes so long for the e-mail to arrive in the recipient's inbox be because sendmail is being used so much at once?
I realize that sendmail is opened with a pipe, meaning it can handle a great amount of traffic at one time, but is the process slowed down with many scripts accessing it at the same time?

Because I also tried using the scripts right now, and the e-mails always arrive faster than I can get to the inbox, but yesterday it would take about 2 hours to arrive.

I'm trying to tell myself that the more proccesses attempting to use sendmail, the slower it runs, but this can't be true can it?
