>Actually, if you notice, the cURL line has a property called cAspPage. This would suggest that a ASP page is being called to process the send mail request. The ASP page must have a object to preform something like CDONTS control. The problem maybe that at times of the day, the mail server at the host end is getting hit with alot of mail, filling up the mail queue. This would slow down the delivary of the Dean's clients mail at times.
I think you're maybe onto something but I've no idea how it works with ASP pages.
