Fastest way to get messages in the SMTP outgoing queue

Hi,

I have an application running on the same server as mailenable and this application basically needs to send email as fast as possible. It currently connects to mailenable via SMTP but I am finding that is a slow process (over half a second per message). All I want to do is queue up messages that are all outgoing. Is there a faster way? It's written in .Net and uses the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send() method to do so.

I've read about writing 2 files to the Outgoing queue directory but I was wondering if the .Net API will create those files for me as well? I don't need these messages to appear in any inbound queues.

thanks
