I've had speed issues when using mail() on a win32 machine that has the php.ini set towards an Exchange 5.5 server. It seems to take a while to open the connection, verify, send it and then close the connection. I haven't traced the problem though, and it's not much of an issue considering my production code runs on linux with instant access to sendmail.
Although reverse DNS could very well be an issue in this case too... -Dash -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:mlemos@;acm.org] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 12:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: Sending mail is so slooooooow Hello, On 11/12/2002 05:50 PM, rich wrote: > PHP 4.2.3 on Windows.

What is the address of the machine that you are using PHP to send the messages? -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
