Do busy smtp servers use long running tcp connections to exchange lot of mails?
- by iamrohitbanga
I had this idea from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2813326/maximum-number-of-bytes-that-can-be-sent-on-a-tcp-connection
is it possible that smtp servers like gmail and yahoo enter into some form of agreement to maintain a tcp connection between them so that lots of mails could be sent on the same tcp connection.
it would be efficient as there would be heavy mail traffic between these mail servers.
