IRIS Email Sending Time Delay

Youngling Posts: 34 Join Date: 11/1/13 Recent Posts

Hello!

We used IRIS to send an operational DSS email for the first time today. Our forecaster who sent the email to our group (459 contacts) noticed that it took about 10 minutes for the email to arrive after sending.

Is 10 minutes a normal time delay for emails sent via IRIS? I'm just trying to get a handle on expectations so that if IRIS fails to send an email, my staff knows how long to wait before we go to backup methods to send emails.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

You can roughly calculate it by 459 * 0.025 ~ 11:30 minutes. When sending to a large number of recipients, it will send them in batches

in order to allow iNWS alert emails to have priority. This does not account for upstream delays, such as relays between hosts, etc, which may add

a little to the overhead.

Thanks,

Matt
