First sent is slow
Actually is just a question: Why is django_mailer so slow the first time a mail is sent, then responses instantly the next times ? At least on the dev server
The SMTP connection takes a long time to set up, but once it's up you don't need to connect again. This isn't something restricted to just django-mailer - standard django mail calls experence the same things.
What I dont get it is: if I'm not sending an email, just storing it on a database, why is there a SMTP connection ?
Hrm, that is interesting. You're right - there shouldn't be an SMTP connection established.
I'm re-opening this. If you get the chance to take a deeper look, it'd be appreciated.
