If you are using SMTPHandler, calling flush() won't do anything. You'll probably need to subclass the handler to implement rate limiting. In the stdlib, only StreamHandler and its subclasses actually implement flush(), which flushes I/O buffers to disk. Regards, Vinay Sajip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
