Command Line SMTP Mailer for Windows
BMail simply rocks.
The other thing i use is just add Vbs script and launch it:
Set Msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
With Msg
.To = "you@yourdomain.com"
.From = "me@mydomain.com"
.Subject = "Hello"
.TextBody = "Just wanted to say hi."
.Send
End With
MsgBox "Script Complete"
Rico Mariani's Performance Tidbits : Performance Quiz #1 (of a series?)
Recently there was a discussion on one of our internal email aliases in which this problem came up. I though it was an interesting problem so I posed this Quiz to assorted people I work with to see what kinds of things they would say.
Considering these three options:
Option 1:
sw.WriteLine(subject + ": " + message);
Option 2:
sw.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", subject, message);
Option 3:
sw.Write(subject);
sw.Write(": ");
sw.WriteLine(message);
Answer these questions:
Q1. Which of these choices offers the best performance?
Q2: Can you characterize the memory usage of each of these?
Q3: Which would the performance team generally recommend, and why?
Q4: What special factors might alter this recommendation?
Q5: What did you have do assume about "sw" to answer the question?
