What key size are you using? If it is something large like 8192 bits it will take longer. You also have the overhead of running the openssl command each time. If the message is the same to many users you can use OpenSSL to create the signed MIME message once and add headers manuallu each time. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
