Actually i simply don't have to write a mail sending script but a
specialized MTA in python. I have read that python smtplib uses other MTA
like sendmail(correct me if wrong).

I am now not intended to receive mails.
Actually i just wrote a python script to send mails using smtp but it was
very slow (nearly one mail per sec) but then i switched the code to
threading concept and created simultaneous threads to process it but this
also didn't help much (and now speed is nealy 4-6 mails/sec). I am very
worried whether i can achieve my peak value or not. But spending time on it
i realized that its not actually an MTA but a simple python script that
uses systems sendmail MTA.
Any suggestion on this?
