Issue at High Volume about papercut-smtp HOT 8 CLOSED

I tested with the service and there is no issue with 1000+ emails. The UI is the problem -- so I updated the UI to better throttle a high velocity of inbound emails. I'll release the update here very soon.

Please provide the code for the load test.

The load test was for a notification system built for one our clients so it's not something I could simply send you. You should just be able to fire up LinqPad or create a console app that loops and sends emails until you experience the issue I would think. If needed I could provide you something like that.

I'll try and take a look when I get a chance.

I've run into a similar or related issue as well. If you're sending a bunch of emails in a loop -- testing a broadcast, for example, problems arise far earlier that 1000s of emails. 10s or 100s of emails in a tight loop will do it.

Papercut UI will freeze, Explorer process will soft crash and restart repeatedly (taskbar dies and then reappears a few seconds later). Testing on Windows 10 here.

I'd assume this isn't an issue with the server itself, but probably how it displays feedback and the systray notifications in particular. Throttling new email notifications to 1 per second or even less might help here...

Happy to test a fix and/or look at code if you can point me in the right direction.

@programcsharp I would suggest testing your assertion by setting up the Papercut.Service and just attempting to overload the server -- sans UI.

Awesome!
