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.

Hand on your heart: Do you really believe that this is due to a slowness in
the mail() function of php?
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.

Just some small thought from a small minded person:
Does the web server resolve the mail client, and/or the protocol properly?
Or does it has to "look around in the neighborhood" for it?
The mail clients you mentioned below, are these executed on the same system
as the php scripts are running, or at some other host?
Have you tried to do a telnet on port 25 from the web server to the SMTP
server to see whats happening?
Cheers,
/Anders

I need to add my 2 cents worth here.
I use php to send email and use my ISP's SMTP server to do it.
And I still experience the slowness. The curious thing is that
I don't experience this slowness with any of the standard mail
clients when sending mail (Outlook, Eudora, etc.)
For whatever it's worth...

My mail.medmarket.com server is actually a linux box at the same co-location
as my win2k web server. I called the ISP and am now using their mail server
that is 30 miles away from that co-location, and things have improved
dramatically.
Believe me, I'd like to use linux for this project of mine, but my boss
wants me to do it Windows first and then (maybe) make the switch to red hat.
Everything should transfer smoothly since I'm using Apache/MySQL/PHP, using
$DOCUMENT_ROOT and forward slashes everywhere, right?
Thanks.

Hi
Im trying to use mail() function with PHP 4.02 under WIndows NT Server
and IIS
and I allways get Failed to connect
even though the SMPT server in php.ini is setup correctly
and i cna acces that server from webserver
doing the same thing on WIndows NT Workstation and apache (same version
of PHP) works.
is it something with that PHP version or there is something else i have
to take look at.
Thank You

Please post the section from php.ini (both of them, if you like).
Is the SMTP server on the same or a different box to the NT Server?
IMHO: best not to use the SMTP 'stub' in IIS - set the php.ini to go straight to
wherever that points!
Please advise,

Aris,
Thanks for such a complete run-down. My comments/further questions are interposed:-
> SMTP = mail.server.com
> sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> ;sendmail_path =
I can't see the mail server from 'outside', but the settings look right - when you
can, let's look at the 'real
deal' though!
> this is how it stands on both of the mashines.

Good thinking!
To really put icing on the cake, how about using an email client/'native' SMTP - does
the mail get through?
(if it's not, the email client doesn't *need* to be on the same box, but keep to same
sub-net just in case)

Neither SMTP nor PHP requires that the two be on the same 'network'. SMTP is an
Internet-wide facility - as long
as the routing/name serving is in place... (which seems pretty much proven). From this
box (192. class C
subnet), I point directly at my ISP's SMTP server (10. class A subnet)!

On this box, I'm using PHP 4.0.6 under NTWS 4.0 SP6a, and have good service.

Exactly how/where do you get this msg?
Worth posting that chunk of PHP code?

Those are the major points to focus on.
Will look forward to hearing how you get on.

I want to be able to build for Windows on my own. I have Microsoft Visual
C++ 6.0 and run on Windows XP.
This is how I am doing it currently, but something is not working right:
First I build Apache (1.3 or 2) by opening up the dsw file and setting the
active project to InstallBin and clicking build.
Once that is done, I open php4ts.dsw and set the active configuration to
either php4apache or php4apache2 and set all the correct header, include and
library files for Apache in the config as well as the win32build/bindlib_w32
stuff. Then, I build that and get the php4apache(2).dll, php4ts.dll, etc and
use those for Apache.
For some reason, some functions seem to be missing when I do it this way
such as crypt. I can't figure out why. Am I doing something wrong? How
exactly do the guys at PHP.net build for Win32? Also, when I build it for
Apache2, if I run phpinfo(); twice, Apache2 crashes.
How do I build the extensions? None seem to have project files or some don't
have all of the source files.
Please help! Thanks!!
