h4. Asynchronous delivery_methods
38
39 30 Miodrag Milic
The @:async_smtp@ and @:async_sendmail@ use asynchronous sends, which means Redmine does not wait for the email to be sent to display the next page.  See "Asynchronous Email Delivery":http://redmineblog.com/articles/asynchronous-email-delivery/ for more details. Some SMTP servers have delay period before processing takes place as anti-spam feature, during which time synchronous method will block Redmine ("10 seconds":http://answers.bitnami.org/questions/4421/updating-an-issue-in-redmine-takes-10-seconds could be default value, see also #11376 for more information) .
