MailAttachment too slow

[Erick Daniel Tinajero]

Hi all:

I am trying to do an automatic email sending process. I get some data from a
database to know which files to send, then I add them through a Do ... Loop
to my System.Web.MailMessage object using:

mail.Attachments.Add(New MailAttachment("File path goes here"))

When the loop finished, I do a send like this:

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtpserver"
SmtpMail.Send (mail)

The whole process runs ok, but its incredibly slow. It usually takes 2
minutes or more, and I think its too slow for such a process. Have anyone
experienced this behavior too? If yes, could anyone help me? The code is
right, but the processing is just unacceptable. Thank you.

Nevermind, I was relying the email, and the SMTP server was trying to verify
the authenticy of the source email. That was taking too many time. Thanks.

P.S. Do not try to rely. It takes too much time
