Having read the other replies to this thread, I have to ask - WHY use SMTP
at all ?
I mean, if the speed of delivery is so critical (as in you mentioned it was
for some sort of gaming environment), surely the weak point it going to be
with the RECEIVING servers ?
I do wonder if some sort of "instant messenger" program where the users
install a client of some sort would be more appropriate ?
If email is the ONLY way to do it (not knowing the exact details) then
perhaps actually giving the users an email account on the main server (or
local net of servers) would be the solution ?
All the best
Phil
