I have to agree. I am using php mail() on my local net without any problems. The only thing I am doing differently is using a LINUX box for my mail server. My php mail() calls happen almost instantaneously.

It might, and is probably, related to your own network. For example: have you check the ICMP traffic, to see if your network traffic is routed correctly? You might have a router in the routing list that is a "wacko" router, and that might causes sporadic network hangs, and disconnection's. /Anders >-----Original Message----- >From: Matt Hillebrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:27 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php-windows >Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow > > >Yeah, I know about the max time variable, but it would be unacceptable to >take over a minute or two to send a handful of emails! > >I read an article that said you could use your ISP's SMTP >server for the >mail() function, but that didn't seem to work. > > > >Matt Hillebrand >Web Developer >[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Ross Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 3:28 PM >To: Matt Hillebrand; php-windows >Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] mail() function EXTREMELY slow > > >I hope you're not spamming... ;) > >In php.ini: > >max_execution_time=30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in >seconds > >Change it to what you need.
