xp_sendmail poor performance

  • I am using xp_sendmail in some INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE triggers. The result set I am including as an attachment is only two small records. From the time xp_sendmail is called until it returns is approximately 9 seconds.

    I've set up an e-mail account through Outlook as instructed and the e-mails are being sent as advertised. Why is the performance so dismal?

    Regards,

  • Did you try to send the same e-mail using Outlook? The behavior is the same?

  • Yes, I tried sending the same e-mail through Outlook and it did not exhibit the same behavior.

    I have since developed my own extended procedure to send an e-mail. It executes normally (no noticable delay). The difference is that it bypasses Outlook. It must have something to do with the Outlook configuration but I'm unaware what it might be.
